NANCY BACHRACH

 Once upon a time,
Peter was just an ordinary boy,
      doing ordinary boyish things. . . .
      Then, one day, he was tested.
It was no ordinary day.
It was a defining moment.­
Peter was warned by Grandfather

not to wander out of his yard
      "because of the Big Bad Wolf."
And what did Peter do with this wise counsel?
He defied it!
On this beautiful Spring morning,
      Peter threw the gate open
and skiiiiipped out into the big green meadow.
      His pet Duck waddled along behind him.
Can you hear Peter frolicking
through the forbidden woods
and into the Unknown???
