The true story of a little girl's imaginary world.

There is a Lollipop Road
in Magic World
where you can pick lollipops
from the ground
and eat them…
as many as you want!

– lick, lick, lick –

No matter how many you take,
– lick, lick, lick –
a new one always grows in its place,
– lick, lick, lick –
so you can get more,
– lick, lick, lick –
and more,
– lick, lick, lick –
and more.
– lick, lick, lick –

But one day,
– lick, lick, crunch –
a boy found a
COOKIE?
on Lollipop Road.

So the boy
– lick, lick, huh? –
picked up the COOKIE!
– sniff, sniff, crunch –
and ate the COOKIE!
– crunch, crunch, crunch –
and…

"We want to see, movies, movies.
We want to see, movies, movies."
That is what the movie says.

The movie is alive…
everyone runs away.

But it is a princess movie,
ahhh, they sit down again.

But then it's a monster movie,
aaaagggghhh, they all run away again.

But then it is a fresh fruit story movie,
mmmm, yummy……

"Um," says my daddy.
"This is a very confusing movie.
I have no idea what is going on.
So, I think we should take two.
And action.
The Fruit Movie of DOOM!"

I am the Fruit Movie of DOOM!

And I am it's Grammy.
I'm very old and I have almost no teeth.
That's why I sound a little cuckoo.

Have fun,
– Josie (and the dad)

I am apple standing in the shower …
Knock Knock Knock
… when a banana knocks on my door …
Knock Knock Knock
… but I'm singing, "La la la,"
so the banana knocks again …
Knock Knock Knock
… but I'm still singing, "La la la,"
so the banana knocks again…
Knock Knock Knock
… and again…
Knock Knock Knock
… and again…
Knock Knock Knock
… until I hear him, so I roll to the door …
Knock Knock Knock
… and say, "Whose there?"
To which the banana says,
"Banana!"
So I say, "Banana who?"
"Banana! I'm a banana. Banana! BANANA!
Let me in, I've got lots of appeal."

Have fun,

My dad just gave me a time machine …

"No I didn't, it's still mine."

… as big as this house …

'No it's not, it's just a little box."

… but I can't find any pictures …

"What about this one?"

… so I'm drawing one myself …

"Why can't I draw too?"

… of me swimming in the water …

"Swimming, swimming in the swimming pool."

… of me visiting the fish …

"When days are hot."

… but then there's a shark …

"When days are cold and days are cold."

… and the shark goes right through me ….

"Excuse me, Josie, I love the story, but is this all in the picture?"

Yes.

"But where's the time machine? And what are you going to do with the picture?"

Here's the time machine, and well I put the pictures in it of course, and then I travel down to the fish …

"In the swimming pool. When days are hot and days are cold."

… but now I can't find my time machine when it's time to come home. So I'm trapped.

"Maybe you'll get eaten by…."

Have fun,
– Josie (and the daddy)

Enoy more 'Saw you Tomorrow'
a new children's book we're writing

Last year, my seven-year-old daughter Josie said,
"I want to invent a Time Machine with you, when I'm older,
so we can spend more time together."

So, now that's she's older…
that's exactly what were going to do.
We're going build a time machine together.

Do you want to know how?

Okay, first we find a special keepsake box.
Then, we take a picture and fold it….
Wait a second!

If I teach you how to make a time machine,
do you promise not to build a time machine?
Or tell anyone else how to build a time machine?

Because, if you and you tell you,
and then you and you and you build a time machine,
and then you and you and you and you and you and
everyone else makes their own time machines…
then the whole world will come unglued like a cheap book
as everyone turns their lives' pages,
as they flip back and forth through time,
pulling the universe's spine inside out,
rewriting the words that have already been written,
and adding new ones before their time.

So, don't make a time machine, okay?
'cause it will mess up life, the universe, and our story.
And remember, it's a secret!

"But dad, if you tell everyone,
then it's not a secret.

You're right, Josie. We can't trust them.
So I'll just tell the story of how to make a time machine
between the beat of two seconds
so no one can hear it.
Okay, you see here's the secret of how to make a time machine.
All you need to do is… TICK

TOCK … and that's how you build a time machine.

Have fun,
The daddy (and Josie)
