The Cat Who Jumped Over The Moon
copyright 1979
By Samantha Wilkinson, Age 5
Picture Descriptions by Samantha Wilkinson, Age 23

Once upon a time there was a cat named "I Love Mice."

[picture of figure drawn of ellipses in blue ink. The back legs and tail are colored in with brown crayon. Figure has big, round eyes.]

Every time he saw a mouse, he ran after it and caught it.

[Picture of larger ellipse-comprised figure following smaller one. They appear to be floating in mid-air and are drawn in black crayon, as are all subsequent pictures.]

One day he got into his space ship, and...

[Picture of what appears to be giant standing carrot. To one side, our protagonist balances precariously on a large comb.]

flew away to another part of Earth.

[Mango-shaped object with smaller ellipse attached to one end. I maintain this is the space ship, with rocket fire coming out one end. Matt thinks it is the space ship leaving the Earth. Since I was the author, I win.]

There were 1,000 mice there.

[Picture of "I Love Mice" (Matt remembers this as "I Like Mice." Guess who's opinion we're going to discount above.) apparently lying on his back, surrounded by a circle of hand-holding smaller figures. Presumably, these are the 1,000 mice, represented here by 11 mice.]

He jumped over the moon with a lot of the mice!

[Three eyeless figures of roughly the same size (one is slightly smaller) surrounding a circle.]
