Philly's New Newsstand

This is an easy to read Class of 3000 storybook starring Philly, the cheerleading hipster.

## The Story

Eddie walked out of his mansion with his parents, his pet dog and his butler. Eddie cried out, "Philly, we are going to do the greatest thing ever!" "Are we going to look at the bright, sunny sky?" asked Philly. "Nah, we are going to make our own news!" replied Eddie. "We'll write articles about the world's coolest things and we will even take photos!" Philly exclaimed, "Newsstand News is the name of our magazine!" Eddie added, "Now that we've got out our cameras, let's go around the Atlanta metro area-that's the ATL for short-to take pictures of people, places and things! I'll always remember to add captions to my pics and you'll always remember to make the articles as detailed as possible; you'll also be a photographer extraordinaire!" With Mr. Phil's help, Eddie and Philly took a photo of Buckybooks Buckhead; Eddie jotted down the caption: "Now open: Buckybooks Buckhead, rock-bottom book retail!" Philly wrote, "With the grand opening of Buckybooks Buckhead, there's a whole lot of critical acclaim because all the books are $4 and under; ''Buckybooks has affordable retail prices on storybooks for my tots,' said Miss Millie Lambert of Darling Daisies Daycare Centre." After making an article about the new bookshop in Buckhead, Philly went to take photos of The Kids' Music Theatre in Bankhead with his mom and Mrs. Lawrence. Kim exclaimed, "Wowee-zowee!" She was very excited about the new musical theatre that encouraged young audiences to sing along with the talented local residents of the ATL, which was the Atlanta metro area. Her brother, Kam, said, "Hey, Philly; why don't you talk to the people backstage?" Philly replied, "Yo, Kam! Guess what? Backstage is outta sight!" Kim, the boys and the kids' parents, Mr. Chin, Mrs. Chin, Mr. Lawrence, Mrs. Lawrence, Mr. Phil and Mrs. Phil went backstage to ask the actors, puppeteers and singers questions, then they wrote down their so-called "Question Time" TV script-style in their premiere issue. The next morning, Kim and the boys as well as the kids' parents were all standing outside a wooden hut built by the butler of Eddie's mansion; they cried, "Read all about it! Get the latest scoop!" at the tops of their lungs. The parents yelled as loudly as vocally possible, "New bookshop in Buckhead! New kids' theatre in Bankhead!" The kids hollered as loudly as they could, "Go behind the scenes of The Kids' Music Theatre and Booksybooks!" Li'l D and Tamika, the biggest jerks at Westley Junior High, declined; later, in the afternoon, the newsstand became a yard sale stand for the Phils and their toy boats that they created out of the old Newsstand News premiere newspapers, which Miss Millie Lambert bought for her daycare. "Hello, Philly;" said Miss Millie. "Thank you so much for making these toy boats for Darling Daisies Daycare's water play room!" Philly replied, "You're welcome! My toy boats are made by hand with love on behalf of my parents; they are perfect for young children's water play!" Kam came up to the Phil family's toy boat sale and said, "Hey, you guys! Way to turn an epic fail into a success!" Madison, the most fun schoolgirl in Atlanta, came up with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Papadoulous to honour the daycare, the bookstore and even the awful mistake that became something awesome; everyone celebrated by going to Misty Kristy's Juice Bar and toasting to a bright future as they drank The Original Orange Juice from plastic glasses with colourful, crazy, bendy straws.
