Kim's Blocks

Kim's Blocks

Kim had some blocks. She had black blocks and blue blocks. Kim wanted a tall block stack. But the blocks did not stand. Plop! Each block slipped and plop down.

Kim felt glum. She had a flat pad. She said, "I can use this!" Kim got a clip. She clipped the pad down. Kim planned to make a good stack. She put a black block, then a blue block. She put block on block. No plop!

The blocks stood tall. They stood like a flag. Kim was so glad! She clapped, clap, clap. Kim had a tall stack.
