The Lost Library Book

It was library day, and Maya could not find her library book.

She looked under her bed. She looked in her school bag. No book!

Maya felt worried. "Ms. Lee will be sad," she said.

Then she heard a little voice in the next room.

Her baby brother, Sam, was holding the book and "reading" it to his teddy bear.

Maya laughed. She read the book to Sam and his teddy, then put it in her bag.
