I looked in the mirror.
My hair was a buzz.
ONE- HALF
was still
long, and
the other
HALF fuzz!

"Here's breakfast," Dad called. "There's no time to waste." My tall glass of milk was TWO-THIRDS gooey paste!

"The moving van's here with THREE-FOURTHS of a ramp. And Donna is waiting. You're riding to camp."
Page 4
Princess, my dog, hopped inside the huge van. We clattered like coconuts in a trash can.

We stopped at Camp Fraction and walked through the gates. FOUR-FIFTHS of the counselors zipped by us on skates.

We strapped on our quivers for archery practice, and noticed the
targets were painted on cactus! I aimed with my arrow and shut
one eye tight, then pulled back the bow string with all of my might.
Page 7
My bulls-eye was
tiny, ONE-SIXTH
of a spot. No fair!
Donna's was
ONE-HALF.
She launched the
best shot.

Princess
dog-paddled
around our canoe,
when Donna and I
stepped inside as the
crew.

Pink flowers with leaves floated next to the shore.
We paddled and pulled out TWO-SEVENTHS of an oar!

Miss Dodd is the ref for our soccer today! "Each goal counts FIVE- EIGHTHS," she said. "Ready to play?"
Page 11
"The other team's here, they flew in from the stars."
We stared at the players. FOUR-NINTHS were from Mars!
Page 12
The game was a close one. Both teams played to win,
but Donna's swift kick scored a goal with a spin.

The outer-space team looked both stunned and agog,
as we squeezed 'round a campfire on THREE-TENTHS
of a log. We roasted Mars-mallows and ate Saturn-s'mores.
A rocket ship landed and opened its doors.

"Climb aboard," said the team. "Then we'll blast to the moon, see TWO-THIRDS of a comet and soar back home soon." Our galaxy trip had an upside down view. When we landed on Earth, I hoped HALF day was through.
Page 15
Then Donna ran home and I hid in my bed,
with THREE-FOURTHS of my blanket
pulled over my head!
Page 16
Next morning I raced
to the mirror to stare.
Yippee! No more
HALF buzz, but a
WHOLE head of hair.

"Tick Tock," said my Dad. He gave me a shock.
Today must be TIME. His face is a CLOCK!
