Jacob Dosent Want to go to Bed

**Here is my first attempt at writing a children's book (I'm going to illustrate a hard copy version just for fun).**


* Dedicated to lovely Jacob, a big boy of 3 years old.

Jacob was a good boy all day. He played nice with his friends at daycare... Then he went skating with his mommy and daddy, he ate all his candy! And when he got home, he ate all his supper. Even the broccoli! After Dinner, he has apple cobbler for dessert, he even scooped his own ice cream! You see, Jacob is a big boy and big boys can scoop their own ice cream... especially the maple kind.

After he had dessert, Jacob wanted to read a story with his freind Janice. (Janice and Jacob both start with the letter "J"). So Jacob picked out the book he wanted to read. Janice and Jacob wnet out to swing in the porch like they always do... but today, for whatever reason, Jacob didnt want to share the swing. He said "you can sit on the floor and read to me" as he as he lay down on the entire swing. But his friend didnt want to sit on the floor and read to him. It just wasnt fair. So she said to Jacob "No. I dont want to sit on the floor and read to you.".

So Jacob started crying.

He got so mad! He even threw the book across the porch!

Then his daddy came in to see what all the commotion was about. "What's going on?" he said with a big voice that only daddies can have. Jacob cried and cried, nobody could figure out why. Then his daddy said "Unless yoyu apologiize, you're going right to bed!" But Jacob was stubborn. He didnt want to apologize, but he didnt want to go to bed either. Janice was very upset because Jacob didnt want to share with her, and because he was yelling and screaming.

Jacob didnt realize he hurt her feelings, so he still didnt apologize. His daddy then picked him up and put him over his shaulder and carried him all the way upstairs. Jacob still didnt want to go to bed. "NOOO!" he cried! "I dont wanna go to bed!" He screamed, in his loudest, whiniest voice. His daddy gave him one more chance to apologize, so they went back downstairs and Jacob, with tears in his big blue eyes said

"Sorry"

To his friend. "It's ok" she said "But next time, you have to be nice, ok?".

So Jacob, always be nice to your friends and dont hurt their feelings. If you do, you have to apologize right away. Ok? <3
