Chapter 1Front Gate
It is a sunny Sunday morning. Sam, Aunt Mila and cousin Nico walk up to the gate of Wonder Hill Park.
Leo the park guide gives Sam a stamp card. "Get a stamp at every ride, and fill the card before the fireworks," he says.
"First, put your fingers on the home row," says Leo. "Every ride starts from the gate, and every key starts from home."
The gate swings open, and music fills the air.
Nico grabs Sam's hand and pulls her toward the rides.
Chapter 2Star Train
The first ride is the Star Train, a little red train that chugs up and around a small hill.
"Reach up to the top row, like the train going up the hill," says Leo. "Then come back home."
The train toots and rolls back into the station.
Leo puts the first stamp on Sam's card: a tiny red train.

Questions from parents
What age is Amusement Park for?
Amusement Park is written for students about 5 to 12. Younger students enjoy hearing it read aloud, and early readers can read one chapter at a time. The whole story takes about 5 minutes.
Can my child listen to Amusement Park instead of reading it?
Yes. Press the ear next to any chapter, or Read the whole story, and your device reads it aloud in a calm voice. It uses the voices built into your browser, so there is nothing to install.
