Books with title Through the Woods

Deep in the woods where people seldom go live The Butterfly Children. It was early morning and The Butterfly Children were asleep. All of a sudden DC was woken up by a loud crashing and banging that echoed through the woods. DC rubbed his eyes and stretched his wings. “Who’s making that noise?” he said looking around. DC thought that he had better have a look so he flew out of his flower to investigate. It was Rudy putting the wheel on his new cart. “I couldn’t wait to finish it.” he said “Sorry if I woke everyone up DC.” “Finished.” he said “You can have the first go if you like?” “Really.” said DC. Rudy jumped into the cart and handed DC the rope. “Start pulling” he said. “I might have known there was a catch” said DC as he began to pull Rudy along the path. “Faster, Faster!” shouted Rudy.After a while DC had to stop to catch his breath, he looked up and saw Theresa brushing her hair. “Looks like fun.” she said. “It’s not for girls.” said Rudy. “It’s too fast for girls, come on DC let’s get going.” DC took a deep breath and off they went again even faster.As they were whizzing through the woods they nearly knocked Chrissie over. “Beep, Beep!” yelled Rudy. “Out of the way, stand back, this is not for girls!” “Look where you‘re going!” Chrissie shouted. Rudy tugged even harder on the rope. “Come on DC, faster, faster!” he shouted.
