\nWork and Play Excerpt:
\nBlanka Bunny, the stuffed plush toy bunny, woke up with a start. She had been sleeping in Anora\u2019s bed, just like she had almost every night since she joined Anora\u2019s family. She had been having a lovely dream about playing with Anora, when suddenly she was awakened by Anora\u2019s voice shouting, \u201cYes, Daddy, okay! I\u2019m doing it!\u201d
\nBlanka found herself being lifted off the bed and hurriedly carried around the room.
\n\u201cSorry, Blanka! I have to clean up right now, really quick! Daddy and I are going the lake today but he said I have to clean my room first!\u201d said Anora. Just then, Dad came into the room.
\n\u201cAnora, how\u2019s the clean-up coming along?\u201d
\n\u201cI\u2019m almost done, Daddy,\u201d she replied.
\n\u201cAre you sure? he said, smiling. \u201cIt still looks pretty messy to me.\u201d
