Be fearless with your spelling choices.

While I was cleaning up, I unearthed a story Lex had written a couple of months ago. She writes many of these stories, most recently under the pseudonym Dr. Alexa, and her teacher has pronounced her the Writing Queen. I now present to you with original spelling and punctuation "The Rain Boo Hermick Crabe," otherwise known as "The Rainbow Hermit Crab." (Please forgive me for only posting the cover and one sideways illustration. Blogger wasn't playing nicely when I was uploading pictures.)
