2 Mom came into the kitchen to greet her second grader.
3 "Yes?" she asked him.
4 "Oh, there you are," said Sam with a grin.
5 "Yes, here I am," said Mom. "Now, what can I do for you?"
6 "I have to write an essay on a moose," said Sam. "Can you help me?"
7 "Of course," said Mom. "Let's go to the library and see what we can find. Put your school bag in your room, and we'll walk over to the library."
8 "Great!" said Sam as he ran off to put his stuff away.
9 Later at the library, Mom showed Sam how to find information for his report. They used the computer to search for books and magazines. They found a stack of items to look through and chose three books that looked best. Using his library card, Sam checked out the books and they headed home to begin.
