My son won!

My son won the young author's award for his school, He wrote a book about a panda named, "Patty MuffinCakes" who wants to escape from the zoo with the help of his koala bear friend named "Bob."
A brief synopsis: Patty Muffincakes hates the zoo because his daily existence consists of everyone telling him how cute he is all the time. So, he tries to pole vault out of his den using bamboo, but he hits the stomach of an extremely obese man and bounces right back into his den. He tunnels out using bamboo as a shovel, but surfaces directly in front of his zoo keeper. He is depressed and listless for 3 days. Finally Bob offers to help him with a new plan. This time, Bob and Patty Muffincakes spend two days building bamboo armor to protect them against "trankalizer" darts. Patty fakes an illness when the keeper comes in and as he's bending over to check on Patty they broadside him and run for the zoo exit!
It is a hilarious story.
I'm sorry for the brag.
My children are all gifted writers, and I give God all the glory!
