Mei sat on a sunny hill with her sketchbook. She picked up a big red crayon. What would she draw today?
Mei drew a big letter R. She made it red. She made it round. She made it really, really big. "There!" said Mei.
But wait — the R began to wiggle! It jiggled. It rumbled. Then — ROAR! — the big red R jumped right off the page! "R-r-r!" it said. "Let's have a RACE!"
"A race? I need friends to race with!" said Mei. She picked up her crayon and drew a fuzzy rabbit. The rabbit hopped off the page! "R-r-r!" said the rabbit, wiggling its fluffy tail.
Then Mei drew a rumbly robot. It had round wheels and a big red button. The robot rolled off the page! "R-r-r!" said the robot, rumbling and beeping.
"One more!" said Mei. She drew a glowing rainbow. It arched off the page in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple! "R-r-r!" sang the rainbow, shimmering and bright. Can you say "R-r-r" too?
"Ready? Set? R-R-RACE!" They all ran down the swirly rainbow road. The rabbit ran fast. The robot rumbled along. The rainbow rippled behind them. "R-r-r! R-r-r! R-r-r!"
But oh no! The road ran right into a river! A wide, wiggly, blue river. "How will we get across?" asked the rabbit. The robot beeped sadly. The rainbow drooped a little.
Mei thought really hard. She tapped her chin. Then she smiled a really big smile. "I know!" she said. She opened her sketchbook and drew something round.
A round bridge! It rolled right off the page and stretched across the river. It was red and strong and just right. "Hooray!" they all cheered. Everyone rolled across together!
They crossed the finish line together! "R-R-R!" they all cheered, loud and proud. Mei gave every racer a big red ribbon. The rabbit, the robot, the rainbow, and the R all wore their ribbons and smiled.
One by one, the rabbit, the robot, the rainbow, and the R hopped back into Mei's sketchbook. "Bye-bye, friends!" said Mei. She closed her book and hugged it tight. What will Mei draw next? R-r-r!
