Ruth has written a couple of books now. Well, dictated more accurately. She tells us the story while we write it down (word-for-word) then she illustrates. This first one is called "The Smile Saver." She wrote this one in about October of last year (2008).

The Smile Saver
by Ruth Jones

Once upon a time there were 4 happy smiles. They were so happy they could eat 40,000 bottles. One day...

"There was a really bad guy who trapped them in a bottle. He reached in and grabbed one of the smiles and stole its purse. He didn't want anyone to see so he slowly tiptoed, and as fast as he could go he slowly went to find Ruth. She was a princess and loved her crown."

"So then he hid the purse and then he came back and said "As soon as I get your princess, I will destroy her." And he did. It began with the tough part. he put them in a big jar and showed them his ugly teeth. "Shhhh! This is a secret!" he yowled. They started crying and now they are frowns. The happy place turned into a frown place."

"The superhero saved the day and let the frowns free and they turned into smiles. The bad guy was defeated. The End."
