Page 4

Jessica Smith, age 6, washed her face, brushed her teeth, slipped into her soft pajamas and climbed into bed. She couldn’t wait to finish looking through the curious book she had found in the old wooden chest in her closet. The book was covered with dust. It must have been a hundred years old!

Pages 5 and 6 - illustration pages



Page 7

Jessica opened the worn leather cover. Inside were pictures of a beautiful princess who lived in an enchanted forest. The princess loved and cared for the many animals who lived there.


Page 8

In the forest was a lake where a silver swan lived. The swan could sing and talk and fly high in the sky. There was also a cute little elf who lived by the lake. The swan often carried the princess and the elf to faraway places. The swan, the princess and the elf were the best of friends.

As Jessica turned the last page of the book, a puff of shimmering gold dust filled the air. Jessica blinked. There, in the middle of her room, stood the princess. At her side was the shining, silver swan. The swan sang:

"Strawberry, blueberry, and raspberry pie,
Come fly with us through the
Magical Sky."


Page 12

"Don’t be afraid, Jessica," said the princess. "We have come to ask for your help." "You see," added the swan, "our friend, Twinkle the Elf, is missing. He went out to play in the clouds this afternoon, and he is not yet home. Could you bring along Amy and Jack and help us search for Twinkle?"

"Of course!" Jessica exclaimed. "Please wait while I ask for permission."


Pages 13 and 14 - illustration pages



Page 15

Jessica was back in a flash. "Are you ready?" asked the silver swan. "Oh yes!" she replied. The silver swan lowered her long, graceful neck and unfolded her wings so that Jessica and the princess could climb onto her back. With a whoosh of her wings, the swan flew out the window and into the evening sky.

Page 16

As Jessica looked at Warrenton, Virginia below, the cool wind tickled her face. "Look," she laughed. "There’s my home! And there’s the park!" Before she could say "raspberry pie," they had picked up Amy and Jack on their way to the clouds.

As the magical swan soared up into the sky, everyone sang:

"Strawberry, blueberry, and raspberry pie,
On our swan’s silver wings
Up, up we fly!"

"The Moon looks soooo big!" exclaimed Jessica. "Look at that shooting star," said the princess. "Let’s all make a wish."


Page 20

Jessica made her wish. She wanted the princess and the silver swan to find their friend, Twinkle the Elf. They all sang:

"Strawberry, blueberry, and raspberry pie,
We’re sure to find Twinkle,
If we all try."


Pages 21 and 22 - illustration pages


Page 23

"We are getting close to Twinkle, the Elf’s, favorite play area," announced the princess. "The clouds here are shaped like animals. Twinkle loves to play on them."

Amy and Jack gazed in amazement as Jessica pointed at the cottony wonderland before them. No wonder Twinkle loved to play here!


Page 24

The silver swan flew gracefully around the clouds while everyone looked for the little elf. "I think I see Twinkle," said Jessica excitedly. "Where?" asked the silver swan and the princess. "He’s right there on that dinosaur cloud!" cried Jessica. The little elf was waving at them.

Page 27

Twinkle bounced up and down with glee as the swan landed beside him. "I’m so glad you’re here!" he exclaimed. Jessica was glad they had found Twinkle. Her wish had come true.


Page 28

"May we play with Twinkle on the clouds?" Jessica asked. "Of course you may," replied the silver swan.

Jumping on the clouds was just like bouncing on a trampoline. They did cartwheels, handstands, somersaults, back flips and front flips. After a while the princess reminded them that it was time to go home.


Pages 29 and 30 - illustration pages


Page 31

The silver swan made sure that her passengers were warm and cozy in her soft feathers before lifting off the dinosaur cloud. She softly sang them a lullaby as they returned home.

"Strawberry, blueberry, and raspberry pie,
Sleep softly, little friends,
morning is nigh,
Up, up we fly!"


Page 32

Jessica woke up as they landed in her room. She slid off the swan’s back and climbed into her bed. She knew that this was one adventure she would never forget!


Pages 33 and 34 - illustration pages


Page 35

"Good night, Silver Swan," whispered Jessica, "and thank you for taking us with you."

"Good night, Jessica," whispered the swan. "I’m glad you came. Sweet dreams."
