KPTS in Wichita that sponsored the local contest made a book of all the winners. I think the book costs $10. We go to the awards ceremony tonight to see who won. :)

Even if he doesn't win, I think he did an excellent job. I wasn't allowed to help him with the wording. If I had been allowed to help, I would have had him make it more clear that the sharks discovered the monster was actually the SHADOW of their friend, named, Hockey Puck. Will understands that but didn't realize the reader might be confused.

He thinks its funny that the sharks are scared of their own friend.

Also, it was very important to Will that the sharks found the key and a hidden secret door but he didn't elaborate in the wording.

Will is a great illustrator, AND a great story-teller! Hard to realize he's only 6! Just terrific. Carol

Wow, Will! Love those illustrations and the story! How was the Reading Rainbow celebration--did the whole family get to go?

He truly believed that he would win the contest. So, he was a little let down. I don't know when he'll understand the actual concept behind a contest. I think he did a great job. Oddly, the judges had higher marks for his illustrations than his words.
