Summary

It’s National Referee Day (again) and the Story Pirates are determined to show Smitty a good time. Featuring two new stories: “The Horrible Pizza,” a flashback-laden chronicle of the unlikely origins of a mythic pizza shop, written by Kiaan and Haley, two siblings from California, and “Demons,” a cautionary tale about what happens to many (most?) families when they go on vacation together, written by an 8 year old from Missouri named Ira. Peter and Lee also read more stories written by kids in the latest installment of Story Love.
