Illustrated mini-book

Ned sat by the pool on a hot day. He had a big cup of food. "A nice cook made this good food," he thought. Ned took out a red spoon to eat. Plop! The spoon slipped and fell into the pool. It sank down far.

Ned stood up fast. He put his foot into the pool to get it. But his foot could not get to the spoon. He felt sad. "I can not get it," Ned said. Tom came to take a look. "Do not fret," Tom said. "I can help you get it."

Tom grabbed a long stick of wood. It had a hook on the end. Tom dove right in and swam down. He used the hook to grab the spoon. Then he swam back up to the top. "Here is your spoon," Tom said. He handed it to Ned.

"Thank you so much!" said Ned. The two pals walked to a cool spot in the grass. They sat down to eat the food together. Then they rested and read a fun book.

Circle or highlight all the OO vowel team words in the story above. How many did you find?
