Buster and the Baby is a story about a baby girl and a puppy playing before bedtime, hiding behind furniture and running around having an amazing time.
This story has a lot of repetition and onomatopoeia, and it can serve as a writing model to show students that repetition can really add emphasis to a story. For example, this story repeatedly says "Thump goes his heart. Thump. Thump. Thump". Having that repetition shows the excitement that the baby feels when playing with the dog, without physically saying "I am having a good time". The onomatopoeia adds excitement and character to the story as well. ( )
