My creatures name is Kooool. He is a clam that crawls around in the sea and he picks up trash that people drop in the ocean and he takes it to the beach so the trash man can pick it up, and that is how he saves the world. Also, he picks up cigarette butts from the ocean and changes it into toys, then puts them on the beach for kids to come and play with. When he is on the beach, kids can go to him and see his hair and nose and mouth and it makes the kids happy. Look at his hair because it is different colors and his tongue has colors too. His tongue that sticks out of his mouth has a red circle and some glitter inside it, then some yellow glitter, then some orange glitter, and another red circle with orange glitter. It also says Derrick and Daddy. His nose is pink and his eyes are a little white and black inside. He really uses it when he likes it. Sometimes he drinks water and he also eats fish. And when it’s nighttime, he also does get little drink of water and he sleeps in his waterbed. And sometimes he also eats for his little snacks, he eats chocolate and they are chocolate balls. And sometimes he eats cereal in the morning time for a snack too.

THE END!

Moojie
By Clara Age 5

One day the monster helped the world. He planted flowers, fed them and watered them. Then he planted oranges for his family. He cleaned up the world like this. He picked up garbage and threw it into the trashcan. When the dump came he was so happy. But the plants wouldn’t grow, the Earth wouldn’t grow, and the bees wouldn’t grow. So, he planted more and more, and the plants grew, the Earth grew, the bees grew, our pets grew, and our family grew. And he was so happy he wanted to love everybody in the whole wide world.

I love you so much. I hope you can come to my house next time.

Googly-Eye Monster
By Emma Age 7

He eats mermaids. He lives in the grass. There are puddles like little ponds to him and the mermaids. He has no legs, wings or nothing. All he does is scoot around. He has no family. He’s extinct.

He pollinates like the bees, but it’s in the dirt. He takes the dirt from each flower under the ground. He puts it around the flower stem. That makes it more comfortable, and helps it live.
