They made a breathtaking escape across a river into the next country, 
where King Magpie could not chase them, and camped in a nice meadow for a few 
days, resting. During the daytime, when the others were just stuffed animals,

When she did, its image in the illustration would zoom toward her until it 
filled the page, and then the Primer itself would become that magical book 
until she decided to put it away.
