Pickle Pizza (5 page)

“Are you interested?” she asked.

“Are pickles green?” Eric hugged his mother.

“That must be a yes,” she said.

Grandpa peeked his head around the corner. “What's all the whispering?”

Eric's mother told the exciting news. She told Grandpa without saying a word about the robin in the box. The robin that was waiting to be finished.

“Well, what do you know! We have an artist in the house.” Grandpa winked at Eric. “And a wonderful chef!”

Eric stood tall. And reached for a slice of pickle pizza.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Beverly Lewis loves dill pickles. When she was little, she even drank pickle juice! Now she saves it to make potato salad for her pickle-lovin' husband and kids.

Beverly's idea for this story came from her twins, Jon and Janie, who are young artists. (You
can
learn to draw, sculpt, or paint. Remember: you never know till you try!)

Come laugh and solve mysteries with Beverly Lewis and the Cul-de-sac Kids in all the books of the series.
