magazines flying They landed all over the floor Dakota groaned I hate Saturday mornings The library is so crowded I’ll go talk to his mother Mrs Mackenzie suggested Don’t worry said Abby We’ll clean this up I thought we were the Book Bunch Dakota grumbled No one said anything about magazines Be nice Abby whispered Mrs Mackenzie brought us doughnuts They have chocolate icing and sprinkles I saw them on her desk Well if there are doughnuts Dakota said I guess I can pick up a few magazines He grinned I’ll race you I bet I can pick up more than you can I’ll bet you can’t Abby said 9
Dakota slid to his knees by the rack And the winner gets all the doughnuts he yelled No fair Abby said laughing The winner gets to shelve books The loser gets to watch Evan 10
