What do you say we read a news article? It was kind of big news last week. As we read this, I'm going to have pictures for you and some definitions for the words. I'm just a little worried that they are out of order. So it might not be as organized as usual. And for that I apologize, but we will be able to read this article. So let's start at the top here and we'll read the title and it says a toddler lost in the woods is found asleep using family dog as a pillow.
