While you're there, check out the Picture Book Magic class. I am a proud graduate. I was already published when I took the class, yet still found it extremely helpful in taking apart my problem manuscripts and putting them back together in a way that they work better!
Trick or Treat? with Little Bo-Creep
(101 with Candy Corn and Excluding Title)By Lynne Marie
“Each ‘hide and creep’ winner will get candy corn
treats,” Little Bo-Creep announced.
She covered her eyes, counted and searched.
Not a sheep could be found!
“Little monsters,” shrieked Bo-Creep. “Come out, come out, wherever you
are!”
All Halloween, Bo-Creep searched in
the shadows. When the sun rose, her
sheep were still gone.
“I’ll teach you to roam so far from
your home,” said Little Bo-Creep. She painted rocks like candy corn and created
a trail leading to the meadow.
She sat by the gate and waited. The
snickering winners grabbed up their treats and started to eat.
Trick! squealed Bo-Creep.

ReplyDeleteLOL -- thank you for taking a peek, @Charlotte Dixon! Glad to see you back at My Word Playground.
DeleteWhat fun, Lynne Marie. I love the name Bo Creep...I think you've got a picture book idea here, for sure. Well done!
ReplyDeleteI was having fun with her so I was thinking the same thing. Maybe a companion book to my Moldilocks and the 3 Scares coming out from Sterling! LOL Thank you so much for your supportive comments, and for stopping by My Word Playground.
DeleteI wish those sheep would just stay away from Miss Bo-Creep forever. I like her as much as the wicked witch of the west. Maybe they should pull the wool over her eyes, LOL. Good luck in the contest!
ReplyDeleteLOL -- I hear you, @Jilanne Hoffmann. Thank you so much from stopping back at My Word Playground again!
DeleteWhat a great name & game - Hide & go creep - I agree that this feels like the start to a funny picture book. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteLOL @McMarshall. I'm hoping it could possibly be a picture book companion to my Moldilocks and the 3 Scare coming out from Sterling. And the idea had never come to me before I had to come up with an entry for this contest. Thanks for your supportive comments!
DeleteI love Bo-Creep and her clever trick! Silly sheep! Well done!

ReplyDeleteLOL @Sherri Jones Rivers. I do think I'm on to something with her. It would be a great companion to my Moldilocks and the 3 Scares coming out from Sterling in a few years. Thanks for you thoughts!
DeleteYou've created such a fun, and creepy, character! LOVE that name & image - I'll never see Bo Peep the same again!
