STORY
Benny's Fun Day
Benny was so excited. He was going to the park with his friends Emma and Max.
"I'm going to play on the swings and slide," said Benny.
"And I'm going to play on the seesaw and merry-go-round," added Emma.
Max chimed in, "And I'm going to play with the blocks and balls!"
At the park, they played together. Benny swung high and slid down fast. Emma seesawed up and down, and Max built a tall block tower and kicked a ball around.
After a fun-filled morning, they sat down to eat a snack.
"I have apples and bananas," said Benny.
"And I have cookies and juice," added Emma.
Max smiled, "And I have crackers and cheese!"
They shared their snacks and enjoyed eating together.
