Fort Worth Independent School District GREENBRIAR STUDENT WRITING ABOUT THE WORK OF ILLUSTRATOR WILLIAM JOYCE The Green Guys by David, Carl, and Jack Every full moon, little green men come out with pointed ears, green skin, and they are invisible to your eyes. They live in leaves that blend in with their skin. They play the banjo and sing all night long, even if it rains. They fly to a spot where they meet and do what they do. Some of them make banjos while they sing and play the banjo too. One of them makes soup for them to eat all night long. They sing so well that they, all the bugs and other animals, come to hear them play, so if you hear some music, it’s probably them. The Lolly Pop House by Porsche, Maris, Andrale On a sunny day, Mrs. Rose was in front of her Lollypop house planting some delectable potatoes that taste like caramel chocolate. "Good morning, Mrs. Rose" said the Bubble Gum Flower Mother. "Mrs. Rose, it appears that you have a beautiful bubble gum flower and she looks as cute as can be!" said the Cotton Candy Man. "Why, thank you" she said. The Lollypop tulips were dancing to the music in their heads. Now, let’s watch the potatoes grow to be delectable! One day, Jack and Adam were walking down the street and fell into a black hole. When they hit the bottom they were in a new dimension. They walked into a restaurant and there was a lady with a hat that was a model of a part of a city with an airplane and a model of King Kong on it. A huge fish in a huge fish bowl was just staring at the lady with the city hat. There was also a lady talking on the phone and a lizard fixing to drop a blueberry in her mouth. The lizard was wearing an Arabian Nights hat. Then, Jack and Adam ran out. While they were running, they did not see they were fixing to fall into another hole. When they hit the bottom, they found themselves back in their own world.
