Catastrophe!
This rhyming text, conveyed through a child’s thoughts, shows us it isn’t always a good idea to make a mountain out of a molehill.
Doing silly things is no big deal. When I play in puddles, dig holes in the lawn, invent stories using Grandpa’s computer, try all of my uncle’s tools, pick up the neighbor’s flowers without asking permission, and draw on the walls of my room, there’s no reason for drama or panic.
Those are small blunders or harmless mistakes. But sometimes, things do go wrong… and then it’s really CATAstrophic!
