\nThe Colorful Spaceship Excerpt:
\nColored markers spilled across the table as Mark dumped out his box of art materials. A red marker slid all the way across the table and dropped on the floor. Mark walked over to the other side of the kitchen table and picked it up. He looked at all the markers in their many different colors and tried to decide what he should draw today. He took a deep breath and sat down. He thought for a moment, and then had an idea!
\n\u201cThat\u2019s it! Today, I will draw a big spaceship!\u201d Mark thought. \u201cIt\u2019ll be mostly grey, with blue windows. But I\u2019ll need that red marker for the edges, and a black marker for writing numbers and for the landing gear.\u201d
