Kit at the art clubKit held his grown-up's paw at the door of a new art club. His tummy felt fluttery, and he felt shy. His grown-up said, “Take your time. I will be right here.” Kit took a deep breath and walked up to Dot, who was painting. “Hello, I am Kit,” he said. “Hello, Kit! I am Dot,” she said. Kit asked, “What are you painting?” Dot said it was a rainbow for her grandma. They both liked blue best! Then Kit and Dot walked over to Bun and Rex, who were building a tower. “Can we join you?” asked Kit. “Sure! We need more blocks,” said Bun. At home time, Kit said, “See you next week, Dot!”
