Cat School, by Sara Agard, age 8

Once upon a time in the cold mountains it was pouring snow outside. Inside the mountains was an enormous school. It appeared to be for cats only. The kind of cat you are is how they determine which class you were in. The girls were a little bit smaller than the boys, but otherwise everyone looked alike in each class.

There was a girl cat named Britney. She was really good at things, but there was one thing she wasn't good at: P.E. She didn't care. She wanted to do something else: read books! The cats actually lived at the school. When it was time for them to go to bed they would glue baskets across a row. Then they would put little pillows and blankets in their baskets.

There was one cat that no one could even challenge. He wore boots and had a sword. His name was Puss. All the other girl cats except Britney really liked Puss. Britney never did anything except read books. Sometimes they had "game time." Some cats would play with yarn balls and some would play in the trees.
Most of the cats played chess and scratched posters. Puss lifted weights, trying to prove he was stronger than any other cat.

If any cat got ahead of Britney, she would leap on them and jump on them until she got to the front. Sometimes when it was time to go to bed, the cats would not go to bed. Instead of going to bed they would sneak into the game room and play games. Britney said she would challenge Puss in a race. Puss was the fastest cat of all, but he was also the fastest reader. She challenged him in both. Puss was done reading before Britney. In the race it was a tie.
