“Okay, Tyler!

I’m going to make up a story about

a girl named Pinky Dinky Doo!”

“Hey! That’s your name!”

Tyler shouted.

“Exactly!” Pinky Dinky said.

“You just scored a Pinky XAnky \)o!”

"AW Tyler yelled.

“I’ll just shut my eyes,

and crank up my imagination,”
said Pinky.

It was a brand-new day in

Great Big City.

Pinky Dinky Doo woke up,
just like always.
Mr. Guinea Pig, the guinea pig,
gave Pinky Dinky Doo a big,
sloppy good-morning kiss.

Pinky jumped out of bed.
She went to the bathroom
and washed her . . .

Pinky Dinky Doo washed her face,
of course!

After that, she put on a freshly ironed ...
Wedge of cheese

“The answer is
She put on a dress,” said Pinky.

Downstairs, Pinky ate
a great big bowl of
Frosted Brainiac Flakes.

uHurry up,

Pinky Dinky, '■Mm
or you’ll be late

for school,”

Mommy Doo

called.

Pinky Dinky Doo ran upstairs

to finish getting ready.

But to her surprise,
she couldn’t find her shoes!!

17

Pinky Dinky Doo looked
under her bed.

No sVvDes.

18

Pinky 1
did some
deep-closet i
diving.

She even looked in the potty,
just in case Tyler, her brother,

had put them there.

Such tuck

Pinky \)\nky \)or\’"t!

“Oh no!” Pinky said.
“There’s the school bus!”
Pinky Dinky didn’t know what to do!
“I can’t go barefoot,” she said.

20

Pinky Dinky ran from room to room
looking for ideas.
She put two comfy
chairs on her feet.
But they were not
comfy.

She tried two canoes.
But she couldn’t
find the paddles.

Pinky even put on

a pair of clocks.

But she was running

out of time. A ( ^7^'

“Pinky!”
Mommy Doo shouted.
“Bus! Leave! School! Now!!!”
Pinky was getting exasperated!

Ys AS Sex

U means She was u ?

Pinky Dinky Doo zoomed
to the kitchen.
She grabbed her
double baloney sandwich and

out of the clear blue sky,
Pinky got an idea!

She opened the sandwich and pulled
out the two pieces of baloney.

Then she wrapped them
around her feet
and used string beans
to hold them in place.

24

And off Pinky went.

Mommy Doo sighed.
“Did my daughter
just get on the bus
wearing baloney
for shoes?”

At school, Pinky Dinky Doo saw

«*c-^

to

her best friend, Nicholas Biscuit.

She told him about

her missing shoes.

“I don’t believe it,”

Nicholas shouted.

“Look!” NAea
His feet were
smashed into *■

two meat loaves.

\ Just then the bell rang.
It was time for class!

“Come on, Nicholas,” Pinky said.
Pinky Dinky Doo and Nicholas
snuck into class.
They hoped no one would see
their crazy shoes.

27

Their teacher, Ms. Maganza,
was telling the class a true story.
A funny thing happened that day.

“I couldn’t find my shoes,” she said.
“So I had to wear two roasted chickens!”
Luckily, she had a third chicken
she could use as a purse.
It matched her shoes perfectly.

Instantly, the class was buzzing.
All the kids said they couldn’t find
their shoes, either.
Abby B. had wrapped
spaghetti around her feet
to make ballet slippers.

Bobby Boom had on
feet-filled doughnuts.

Daffinee Toilette was
wearing melons.

Everybody was talking and laughing
and showing off their food shoes.
Then Ms. Maganza turned on the TV.

“Attention, all teachers and students!
This is Principal Dipthong.”

“Due to a mix-up in our school kitchen,
today’s lunch will be ...

Sh^ec Salad barbecued
Cowboy booPs
And for dessert. . .

Frozen FV\d-F\ooS.”

“Gross!”

Daffinee squealed.

“Whoever heard of

shoes for lunch?”

“What are we going

to do for food?” Bobby moaned.

Pinky Dinky decided to "Thunk b\g!

“Stand back!” Nicholas shouted.
Everybody made room
for Pinky to use her brain.
Normally, it was an
everyday, kid-sized brain . . .

She thought and thought and thought!
And as she thought,
her brain got bigger and bigger
until her head filled the room.

And then it happened

Pinky Dinky Doo had a big idea.

“She’s gonna blow!” Nicholas shouted.
The pressure from
all that thinking
shot out of
Pinky’s ears.
She flew around
the room like a
balloon losing air.

“Hey! I know what we
can do!” Pinky said.
“Why don’t we . . .

Sit in the corner
and drool like
baboons?

Cry like
babies with
gas?
Eat our food shoes and wear our
shoe food?”

Pinky answered her own question.
“It’s , of course,” she said.
“Come on, let’s eat our shoes!”
Everyone cheered Pinky’s good idea.
“Hurray for Pinky Dinky Doo!”
they shouted.

Then they all trooped down
to the cafeteria.
Pinky led the way.

First, all the kids sorted through
the cafeteria dishes to match up
the pairs of shoes.

Can you help everyone
find their missing shoes?

Then they put their food shoes
on the table.

It was a feast of meat loaf,
melon, doughnuts, chicken,
spaghetti, and baloney.
They ate and ate and ate and ate.
It was the best school lunch ever.

“And that’s exactly what happened.

:: Sort of,” Pinky said to Tyler.
“The end.”
Tyler looked worried.
Pinky knew what he was thinking.
“PS. And since this was a made-up

story, you don’t have to worry
about dirty food or germs or
STINKY FEET!” Pinky added.
Tyler was relieved.

“I loved that story!” Tyler yelled.
“Thanks, Tyler,” said Pinky
“Which part did you like best?”
“Uh ... um ... I forgot,” said Tyler.
“Well,” asked Pinky, “did you like
the girl named Pinky Dinky Stinky?”
“No!” Tyler shouted.
“Her name is Pinky Dinky Doo\”
