A boy is writing a rhyming story about knights, dragons, and pirates when his sister comes along and wants to participate in his story. She takes a crayon, ruins some of the rhyming words, and adds her own words and wild ideas. Now as the boy reads his story, some of the sentences don't rhyme anymore and the story seems crazy. He feels frustrated until he realizes something important about his sister's words. 

Abed has crafted an amusing and lively rhyming story with a cute surprise ending. Aly's illustrations are fun and energetic.
