It’s Picture Day Today
by Megan McDonald
illustrated by Katherine Tillotson
Button is late -
late, late, late.
Missed the bus to school,
on this day of all days.
Everyone else who makes up the class -
Feathers, Strings,
Springs, Rings,
Pom-Poms, Yarns,
and Wheely Things -
they're all inside,
getting themselves together.
Getting ready for the teacher,
the camera,
the wide-angle moment.
But wait...
wait, wait, wait...
Button's not the only one late!
