Poppy and the Quest for the Rainbow Iceberg
by

A story about
for your 3rd Grader.

Once upon a time in a land where snowflakes danced in the winter breeze, a brave penguin named Poppy set off on a journey to find the legendary rainbow iceberg.

Her first stop was the village of Candy Cane Hollow, where she was greeted by twinkling lights and the sweet smell of peppermint in the air.

The peppermint smell was so strong Poppy penguin started getting lightheaded that she had to sit down on a bench made of licorice to keep from getting dizzy. As she rested, a reindeer with jingle bells on trotted over, offering her a candy cane and some advice on finding the magical iceberg.

Poppy gratefully accepted the candy cane and listened very closely as Comet explained that she needed to visit the Crystal Caves to find a special map carved in ice by the ancient penguin king Ruben .

Feeling braver than ever with Comet's advice, Poppy set out for the Crystal Caves. As she waddled across the sugar-coated hills, she hummed a tune she just made up about adventures and candy canes, imagining her triumphant return to her friends and family in the village.

Just as she was about to reach the caves, a gentle snowfall began, and Poppy discovered that the falling snowflakes formed patterns pointing her towards a hidden entrance with ancient penguin markings .

Suddenly, Poppy heard a distant echo and realized it was a friendly seal named Snuggles who appeared to be stuck on a slippery slope, needing Poppy's help before they could continue their adventure together.

Poppy quickly slid over to help Snuggles, using her flippers to give him a gentle push. With a little teamwork, they managed to get Snuggles safely back on track and he gratefully joined Poppy, promising to guide her through the dark caves using his keen sense of direction.
