Vaccines For New Born Babies.

Vaccines For Babies

At birth, infants have protection against certain diseases because antibodies have passed through the placenta from the mother to the unborn child. After birth, breastfed babies get the continued benefits of additional antibodies in breast milk. But in both cases, the protection is only temporary.

Immunization (vaccination) is a way of creating immunity to certain diseases by using small amounts of a killed or weakened microorganism that causes the particular disease.

Microorganisms can be viruses, such as the measles virus, or they can be bacteria, such as pneumococcus. Vaccines stimulate the immune system to react as if there were a real infection — it fends off the "infection" and remembers the organism so that it can fight it quickly should it enter the body later.

Some parents may hesitate to have their kids vaccinated because they're worried that the children will have serious reactions or may get the illness the vaccine is supposed to prevent. Because the components of vaccines are weakened or killed — and in some cases, only parts of the microorganism are used — they're unlikely to cause any serious illness. Some vaccines may cause mild reactions, such as soreness where the shot was given or fever, but serious reactions are rare.

The risks of vaccinations are small compared with the health risks associated with the diseases they're intended to prevent.

The following vaccinations and schedules are recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). Please note that some variations are acceptable and that changes in recommendations frequently occur as new vaccines are developed. Many of these vaccines are available as combinations to reduce the number of shots a child receives. Your doctor will determine the best vaccinations and schedule for your child.

Recommended Vaccinations:

Hepatitis B
Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV)
DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis)
Hib (meningitis)
IPV (polio)
Influenza
MMR (measles, mumps, rubella)
Varicella (chickenpox)
MCV4 (bacterial meningitis)
Hepatitis A
Hepatitis B

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) affects the liver. Those who are infected can become lifelong carriers of the virus and may develop long-term problems such as cirrhosis (liver disease) or cancer of the liver.

Immunization Schedule

Hepatitis B vaccine usually is given as a series of three injections. The first shot is given to infants shortly after birth. If the mother of a newborn carries the hepatitis B virus in her blood, the infant needs to receive the first shot within 12 hours after birth, along with another shot (HBIG) to immediately provide protection against the virus. If a newborn's mother shows no evidence of HBV in her blood, the infant may receive the hepatitis B vaccine any time prior to leaving the hospital. It may also be delayed until the 4- or 8-week visit to the child's doctor.

If the first dose is given shortly after birth, the second shot is given at 1 to 4 months and the third at 6 to 18 months. For infants who don't receive the first shot until 4 to 8 weeks, the second shot is given at 3 to 4 months and the third at 6 to 18 months. In either case, the second and third shots are usually given in conjunction with other routine childhood immunizations.

Why the Vaccine Is Recommended

The hepatitis B vaccine usually creates long-term immunity. Infants who receive the HBV series should be protected from hepatitis B infection not only throughout their childhood but also into the adult years. Eliminating the risk of infection also decreases risk for cirrhosis of the liver, chronic liver disease, and liver cancer. Young adults and adolescents should also receive the vaccine if they did not as infants.

Possible Risks

Serious problems associated with receiving the HBV vaccine are rare. Problems that do occur tend to be minor, such as fever or redness or tenderness at the injection site.

When to Delay or Avoid Immunization

If your child is currently sick, although simple colds or other minor illnesses should not prevent immunization
if a severe allergic reaction (called anaphylaxis) occurred after a previous injection of the HBV vaccine

Caring for Your Child After Immunization

The vaccine may cause mild fever, and soreness and redness in the area where the shot was given. Pain and fever may be treated with acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Check with your child's doctor about the appropriate dose.

When to Call the Doctor

if you're not sure of the recommended schedule for the hepatitis B vaccine
if you have concerns about your own HBV carrier state
if moderate or serious adverse effects appear after your child has received an HBV injection


Pneumococcal Vaccine (PCV)

The pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) protects against pneumococcal infections. The bacterium is the leading cause of serious infections, including pneumonia, blood infections, and bacterial meningitis.

Children under 2 years old are most susceptible to serious pneumococcal infections. The pneumococcus bacterium is spread through person-to-person contact. The vaccine not only prevents the infection in children who receive it, it also helps stop its spread.

Immunization Schedule

PCV immunizations are given as a series of four injections starting at 2 months of age and following at 4 months, 6 months, and 12 to 15 months. Children who miss the first dose or may have missed subsequent doses due to vaccine shortage should still receive the vaccine, and your child's doctor can give you a modified schedule for immunization.

Why the Vaccine Is Recommended

The most serious infections affect children younger than 2 years old, and the vaccine will protect them when they're at greatest risk.

PCV also is recommended for kids between 2 and 5 years of age who are at high risk for serious pneumococcal infections because they have:

sickle cell anemia
a damaged spleen or no spleen
HIV/AIDS
cochlear implants
a disease that affects the immune system, such as diabetes or cancer
to receive medications that affect the immune system, such as steroids or chemotherapy
In addition, these high-risk children may also receive the pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV) in addition to the PCV when they're older than 24 months.

The PCV vaccine should be considered for all other 2- to -5-year-olds, especially those who are under 3 years of age; are of Alaska Native, American Indian, or African American descent; or who attend group child-care centers.

Possible Risks

Children who receive the PCV vaccine may have redness, tenderness, or swelling where the shot was given. A child may also have a fever after receiving the shot.

When to Delay or Avoid Immunization

if your child is currently sick, although simple colds or other minor illnesses should not prevent immunization
if your child has had a severe allergic reaction to a previous dose of the vaccine
Caring for Your Child After Immunization
The vaccine may cause mild fever, and soreness and redness in the area where the shot was given. Pain and fever may be treated with acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Check with your child's doctor about the appropriate dose.

When to Call the Doctor

if your child missed a dose in the series
if a severe allergic reaction or high fever occurs after immunization


DTaP
The DTaP vaccine protects against:

diphtheria — a serious infection of the throat that can block the airway and cause severe breathing difficulty
tetanus (lockjaw) — a nerve disease, which can occur at any age, caused by toxin-producing bacteria contaminating a wound
pertussis (whooping cough) — a respiratory illness with cold symptoms that progress to severe coughing (the "whooping" sound occurs when the child breathes in deeply after a severe coughing bout); serious complications of pertussis can occur in children under 1 year of age, and those under 6 months old are especially susceptible

Immunization Schedule

DTaP immunizations are given as a series of five injections and are usually administered at ages 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 15 to 18 months, and 4 to 6 years (before starting school). After the initial series of immunizations, a vaccine called Tdap (the booster shot) should be given at ages 11 to 12. Then, Td (tetanus and diphtheria) boosters are recommended every 10 years.

Why the Vaccine Is Recommended

Use of the DTaP vaccine has virtually eliminated diphtheria and tetanus in childhood and has markedly reduced the number of pertussis cases.

Possible Risks

The vaccine frequently causes mild side effects: fever, mild crankiness, tiredness, loss of appetite, and tenderness, redness, or swelling in the area where the shot was given. Rarely, seizures can occur following DTaP. Most of these side effects result from the pertussis component of the vaccine. Severe complications caused by DTaP immunization are rare. Most kids have little or no problem.

When to Delay or Avoid Immunization

if your child is currently sick, although simple colds or other minor illnesses should not prevent immunization
if your child has an uncontrolled seizure disorder or certain neurologic diseases or seems not to be developing normally — the pertussis component of the vaccine may not be given, and your child may receive a DT (diphtheria and tetanus) vaccine instead

If your child experienced any of the following after an earlier DTaP, consult with your doctor before your child receives another injection of the vaccine:

seizures within 3 to 7 days after injection
worsening of seizures
an allergic reaction after receiving the vaccine, such as mouth, throat, or facial swelling
difficulty breathing
temperature of 105° Fahrenheit (40.5° Celsius) or higher during the first 2 days after injection
shock or collapse during the first 2 days after injection
persistent, uncontrolled crying that lasts for more than 3 hours during the first 2 days after injection

Caring for Your Child After Immunization

Your child may experience fever, soreness, and some swelling and redness in the area where the shot was given. Pain and fever may be treated with acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Check with your child's doctor about the appropriate dose. Some doctors recommend a dose just before the immunization.

A warm, damp cloth or a heating pad also may help reduce soreness. Moving or using the limb that has received the injection often reduces the soreness.

When to Call the Doctor

if you aren't sure whether the vaccine should be postponed or avoided. Children who have had certain problems with the DTaP vaccine usually can safely receive the DT vaccine.
if complications or severe symptoms develop after immunization, including seizures, fever above 105° Fahrenheit (40.5° Celsius), difficulty breathing or other signs of allergy, shock or collapse, or uncontrolled crying for more than 3 hours


Hib

Haemophilus influenzae type b bacteria were the leading cause of meningitis in children until the Hib vaccine became available.

Immunization Schedule

The Hib vaccine is given by injection at ages 2 months, 4 months, and 6 months (however, some of the Hib vaccines do not require a dose at 6 months). A booster dose is given at 12 to 15 months.

Why the Vaccine Is Recommended

Long-term protection from Haemophilus influenzae type b occurs in more than 90% of infants receiving three doses of the vaccine. Those immunized have protection against meningitis, pneumonia, pericarditis (an infection of the membrane covering the heart), and infections of the blood, bones, and joints caused by the bacteria.

Possible Risks
Minor problems, such as redness, swelling, or tenderness where the shot was given, may occur.

When to Delay or Avoid Immunization

if your child is currently sick, although simple colds or other minor illnesses should not prevent immunization
if severe allergic reaction occurs after an injection of the Hib vaccine, further Hib immunizations may not be given to your child
Caring for Your Child After Immunization
The vaccine may cause mild soreness and redness in the area where the shot was given. Pain may be treated with acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Check with your child's doctor about the appropriate dose.

When to Call the Doctor

if you aren't sure whether the vaccine should be postponed or avoided
if moderate or serious adverse reactions appear after the Hib injection


IPV

Polio is a viral infection that can result in permanent paralysis.

Immunization Schedule

The inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV) is usually given at ages 2 months, 4 months, 6 to 18 months, and 4 to 6 years before entering school.

Until recently, the oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) was given in the United States. Updated recommendations by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices now call for IPV injections. This change eliminates the previous small risk of developing polio after receiving the live oral polio vaccine.

Why the Vaccine Is Recommended
Protection against polio occurs in more than 95% of children immunized.

Possible Risks
Side effects include fever and redness or soreness at the site of injection.

When to Delay or Avoid Immunization

IPV should not be given to kids with severe allergy to neomycin, streptomycin, or polymyxin B.

Caring for Your Child After Immunization

IPV may cause mild fever, and soreness and redness at the site of the injection for several days. Pain and fever may be treated with acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Check with your child's doctor about the appropriate dose.

When to Call the Doctor

if you aren't sure whether the vaccine should be postponed or avoided
if moderate or severe adverse reactions occur after the immunization

Influenza

Influenza, commonly known as "the flu," is a highly contagious viral infection of the respiratory tract.

Immunization Schedule

These groups, who are at increased risk of flu-related complications, should receive the flu shot every year:

children 6 to 59 months old
any child or adult with chronic medical conditions, such as asthma, cystic fibrosis, diabetes, sickle cell anemia, and HIV/AIDS
children — from 6 months to 18 years — on long-term aspirin therapy
anyone age 65 and older
women who will be pregnant during the flu season
anyone who lives or works with infants under 6 months old
residents of long-term care facilities, such as nursing homes
health-care personnel who have direct contact with patients
out-of-home caregivers and household contacts of anyone in any of these high-risk groups
In the past, there have been times when there were vaccine shortages and delays. So talk with your doctor about availability.

For kids younger than 9 who are getting a flu shot for the first time, it's given in two separate shots a month apart. It can take about 2 weeks after the shot is given for the body to build up protection to the flu.

Another non-shot option called the nasal mist vaccine came on the market in 2003 and is now approved for use in healthy 5- to 49-year-olds. But this nasal mist isn't for everyone, and can't be used by high-risk children and adults or pregnant women.

Why the Vaccine Is Recommended

The flu vaccine reduces the average person's chances of catching the flu by up to 80% during the season. Getting the shot before the flu season is in full force gives the body a chance to build up immunity to, or protection from, the virus.

The shot usually becomes available between September and mid-November. Although you can get a flu shot well into flu season, it's best to try to get it earlier rather than later, if your doctor thinks it's necessary. However, even as late as January there are still 2 to 3 months left in the flu season, so it's still a good idea to get protection.

Even if you or your child got the vaccine last year, that won't protect you from getting the flu this year, because the protection wears off and flu viruses constantly change. That's why the vaccine is updated each year to include the most current strains of the virus.

Possible Risks

Given as one injection in the upper arm, the flu shot contains killed flu viruses that will not cause someone to get the flu, but will cause the body to fight off infection by the live flu virus. Getting a shot of the killed virus offers protection against that particular type of live flu virus if someone comes into contact with it.

Some of the most common side effects from the flu shot are soreness, redness, or swelling at the site of the injection. A low-grade fever and aches are also possible. Because the nasal spray flu vaccine is made from live viruses, it may cause mild flu-like symptoms, including runny nose, headache, vomiting, muscle aches, and fever. Very rarely, the flu vaccine can cause serious side effects such as a severe allergic reaction.

When to Delay or Avoid Immunization
People who should not get the flu shot include:

infants under 6 months old
anyone who's severely allergic to eggs and egg products because the ingredients for flu shots are grown inside eggs. Tell the doctor if your child is allergic before he or she gets a flu shot.
anyone who's ever had a severe reaction to a flu vaccination
anyone who's had Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS, a rare medical condition that affects the nerves) within 6 weeks of getting a flu shot
anyone with a fever

Caring for Your Child After Immunization

Pain and fever may be treated with acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Check with your child's doctor about the appropriate dose. Some doctors recommend a dose just before the immunization. A warm, damp cloth or a heating pad also may help minimize soreness. Moving or using the limb that has received the injection often reduces the soreness as well.

When to Call the Doctor

if you aren't sure if the vaccine should be postponed or avoided
if there are problems after the immunization


MMR (measles, mumps, rubella)

The MMR vaccine protects against measles, mumps, and rubella (German measles). MMR vaccinations are given by injection in two doses. The first is administered at age 12 to 15 months; the second generally is given prior to school entry at age 4 to 6 years.

Why the Vaccine Is Recommended

Measles, mumps, and rubella are infections that can lead to significant illness. More than 95% of children receiving MMR will be protected from the three diseases throughout their lives.

Possible Risks

Serious problems are rare. Potential mild to moderate adverse effects include rash, fever, swollen cheeks, febrile seizures, and mild joint pain.

When to Delay or Avoid Immunization

if your child is currently sick, although simple colds or other minor illnesses should not prevent immunization
if your child has an allergy to eggs, gelatin, or to the antibiotic neomycin that has required medical treatment
if your child has received gamma globulin
if your child has immune system problems related to cancer, leukemia, or lymphoma
if your child is taking prednisone, steroids, or immunosuppressive drugs
if your child is undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy
Caring for Your Child After Immunization
If a rash develops without other symptoms, no treatment is necessary and it should resolve within several days. Pain and fever may be treated with acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Check with your child's doctor about the appropriate dose.

When to Call the Doctor

if you aren't sure if the vaccine should be postponed or avoided
if there are problems after the immunization


Varicella (chickenpox)

The varicella vaccine protects against chickenpox (varicella), a common and very contagious childhood viral illness.

Immunization Schedule

The varicella vaccine is given by injection between the ages of 12 and 15 months, followed by a booster shot at 4 to 6 years of age for further protection. Older children who have not had chickenpox may also receive the vaccine. Kids 13 years or older who have not had either chickenpox or the vaccine would need two vaccine doses at least 1 month apart.

Why the Vaccine Is Recommended

The varicella vaccine prevents severe illness in 95% of children who are immunized. It's up to 85% effective in preventing mild illness. Vaccinated kids who do get chickenpox generally have a mild case.

Possible Risks

Serious reactions are extremely rare. Possible mild effects are tenderness and redness where the shot was given, fever, fatigue, and a varicella-like illness. A rash can occur where the shot was given or elsewhere on the body up to 1 month after the injection. It may last for several days but will disappear on its own without treatment.

When to Delay or Avoid Immunization

if your child is ill with anything more serious than a cold, immunization should be delayed
if your child has an allergy to gelatin or to the antibiotic neomycin that has required medical treatment
if your child has received gamma globulin
if your child has immune system problems related to cancer, leukemia, or lymphoma; is taking prednisone, steroids, or immunosuppressive drugs; or is undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy

Caring for Your Child After Immunization

Pain and fever may be treated with acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Check with your child's doctor about the appropriate dose.

MCV4

The meningitis vaccine protects against meningococcal disease, a serious bacterial infection that can lead to bacterial meningitis.

The vaccine is recommended for kids at age 11 or 12 years, at age 15 years if not previously vaccinated (before entering high school), and for older teens who are entering college and will be living in a dormitory setting.

Why the Vaccine Is Recommended

Bacterial meningitis, an inflammation of the membrane that protects the brain and spinal cord, is a rare but highly contagious disease that can spread rapidly among kids who are in close quarters. It can be life-threatening if it's not promptly treated.

Possible Risks

Some of the most common side effects are swelling, redness, and pain at the site of the injection, along with headache, fever, fatigue, and a rash.

When to Delay or Avoid Immunization

if your child tends to have allergic reactions to the DTaP vaccine or to latex
if your child is currently sick, although simple colds or other minor illnesses should not prevent immunization

Caring for Your Child After Immunization

Your child may experience fever, soreness, and some swelling and redness in the area where the shot was given. Pain and fever may be treated with acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Check with your child's doctor about the appropriate dose. Some doctors recommend a dose just before the immunization.

A warm, damp cloth or a heating pad also may help reduce soreness. Moving or using the limb that has received the injection often reduces the soreness.

When to Call the Doctor

if you aren't sure if the vaccine should be postponed or avoided
if there are problems after the immunization

Hepatitis A

The hepatitis A virus (HAV) causes fever, nausea, vomiting, and jaundice, and can lead to community-wide epidemics. Child care centers are a common site of outbreaks.

The vaccine is recommended for children 12-23 months old, followed by a second dose 6 months later. The vaccine is also recommended for older kids and adults who are at high risk for the disease, including those who are traveling to locations where there are high rates of HAV.

Why the Vaccine Is Recommended

Vaccination against HAV can help stop epidemics from developing in the community. Some infected children do not have any symptoms, and can spread the virus to others. The more young children who are vaccinated against HAV, the more limited the spread of disease will be in a community.

Possible Risks

Side effects are usually mild fever, and tenderness, swelling, and redness at the site of the injection.

When to Delay or Avoid Immunization

if your child is currently sick, although simple colds or other minor illnesses should not prevent immunization
if your child had an allergic reaction to the first dose of hepatitis A vaccine
Caring for Your Child After Immunization
Your child may experience fever, soreness, and some swelling and redness in the area where the shot was given. Pain and fever may be treated with acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Check with your child's doctor about the appropriate dose.

Immunization Chart

This immunization chart is a handy reference to help you keep track of which vaccines your child needs to receive and when.

Types of Vaccines

Four different types of vaccines are currently available:

Attenuated (weakened) live viruses are used in some vaccines such as in the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine.
Killed (inactivated) viruses or bacteria are used in some vaccines, such as in IPV.
Toxoid vaccines contain a toxin produced by the bacterium. For example, the diphtheria and tetanus vaccines are toxoid vaccines.
Biosynthetic vaccines (such as Hib) contain synthetic substances.
Immunizations for Travel
Specific information about which immunizations are required by travelers to each country worldwide is available directly from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Ask your doctor for more information.

Depending on the type and length of travel, some vaccines may be recommended. Most immunizations should be given at least 1 month before travel. Take your child's immunization records with you when you travel internationally.

Helping Your Child Through Vaccine Injections

Sometimes it's hard to tell who dreads immunizations more — parents or kids. Here are some tips to help make the procedure easier for everyone:

Tell older kids what's going to happen and that the shot helps to keep them healthy.

Tell younger kids that it's OK to cry, but also encourage them to be brave.
Try to be calm yourself. Your child can pick up on your concerns.
Distraction at the moment of the injection is helpful. Try having kids count, sing a song with you, or look away (perhaps at a picture on the wall). You may want to have a joke or funny comment ready.

Offer praise after the injection is over.

Plan something fun for after the appointment. A trip to the park or playground can make the overall immunization experience less unpleasant.
As uneasy as getting vaccinated may make both you and your child, remember that immunizations are one of the best means of protection against contagious diseases.

Cute Stories For Child

A Fish Tale

Lets begin

Once upon a time there was a little fish named Finnin. Finnin spent all his days swimming and playing and jumping in his little pond. The ponds name was Wigham. The other fish in Wigham didn't like Finnin becuase he was always thinking. Finnin would think and think and think till he was fast asleep. Once he awoke he would eat and then think some more. Now in Wigham, Finnin had one close friend, Melvin. Melvin wasn't like the other fish for he was a turtle.

"Why are you always thinking?" said Melvin to Finnin. "I like to think about Zelada." Finnin said boldly. Zelda was a beautiful goldfish who lived in the big wooden thing on the hill. she would swim back and forth in this thing that looked like water but was hard and stone. Finnin longed to be with Zelda but she didn't even know he existed. "I must save her from the stone water thing', he exclaimed. This is why all the others in Wigham thought he was strange. Why leave the safety of the pond to venture out to the big wooden thing. There were scary things out there, tall trees that walk and speak and flying things and creepy crawly things and the most dreaded of all....Pete! The four legged furry thing that the tall trees that walked called...A CAT!

Finnin decided he needed a plan and the only wise on in Wigham was Amadeus. Amadeus came from a long line fo wise crabs. "I will talk to Amadeus," Finnin said to Melvin, he will know what to do. So the two swam towards Amadeus' house. They passed Wally and Willy the starfish twins and Mrs. Pettystill, a very large halibut with eating problem though she was still very nice. Finnin and Melvin finally reached Amadeus' house and tapped lightly on the door. "Amadeus, it's us! Finnin and Melvin" Finnin said. A little peephole opened and a voice boomed out, "Who is it?!" said the voice. "It's Finnin and Melvin sir....we've come to talk to you." Melvin said meekly. "Go away!" Said Amadeus and slammed shut the peephole door. "But sir!...we're on a dangerous mission and we need a plan." Said Finnin. The door swung open briskly and Amadeus popped his head, or what you might call a head for a crab, out. "Well why didn't you say so in the first place! Come in! Come in!" Amadeus said as he grabbed the two, flinging them into his home and across the floor till their heads hit the wall witha thump! "The walls have ears.....shhh!" Amadeus whispers. The two dazed lads look at him perplexed and amused at the same time. "No they don't" chuckled Melvin. "Yes they do" said Amadeus. "Look here!" Amadeus points up to the far wall where two huge moose ears hang suspened. "Got'em yesterday at the fish market, don't they look lovely?" said Amadeus putting his arm around Finnin. "Enough about the moose,' said Amadeus "what seems to be the problem?" "We need a plan to get into the big wooden thing on the hill," said Finnin. Amadeus is aghast, to think of going into the big wooden thing was totally ridiculus in his opinion. "You'll be fishfood for sure if you try to get in there!" Said Amadeus. "But i'll help you just the same. Just go there between noon and one o'clock, that's when the fury four legged animal easts and you will be able to get in," said Amadeus. "But why do you want to go there?" he asked inquisitively. "We must save Zelda!" barked Finnin. "Oh well, good luck" said Amadeus as the two departed.

It was time to go for the noon hour was fast approaching. Finnin and Melvin trudged out of Wigham with some bits of cheese and fresh socks just incase their feet got muddy. Fish do not have feet but turtles do so Melvin wore them. As they got close to the bark and scary wood thing some big walking trees thundered by. It was like and earthquake and Finnin and Melvin thought they would be crushed. Luckly Melvin was a quick turtle and Finnin hopped on his back and voohm!...off they went. The sockes helped. They finally came upon the big wooden thing. There was a mouse hole. Finnin knew who it belonged to, it was Fred's hole. Fred the field mouse would come down t the pond and chat with Finnin from time to time about things. He told Finnin if you ever needed a favor from him just ask! They entered the hole and there was Fred. "Hello Finnin, how are you!" said Fred. "Fine" said Finnin. "We need a favor." "Sure" said Fred, "what is it?" "We need you to distract the fury four legged animal so we can save Zelda," said Finnin. "Oh you mean Pete, no problem!...he chases me all the time!" Fred said with an air of defiance. So off they went into the big wooden thing.

"I'm going to be a hero!" Finnin said. "Oh that's nice" said Fred. The three continued walking slowly deeper and deeper into the big wooden thing. Finally they saw him, the big fury four legged thing called Pete. He was licking his chops and holding tightly onto the hard stone water thing that held Zelda. As they neared Pete Fred gave a loud squeek and Pete charged at him. They both ran around squeeking and meowing till they were both totally out of sight.

There it was at last, the stone water thing and Zelda looking very exhausted after very nearly being eaten by Pete. The stone water thing sat perched high up in big wooden thing. Melvin Boosted Finnin up. Higher and higher he climed and smaller and smaller Melvin looked. As Finnin climbed over the top there was Zelda swimming along. "I've come to save you," Finnin said heroically. "My hero!!" screamed Zelda. So Finnin, Zelda and Melvin headed back to Wigham where they were greeted with cheers from the whole population. Even Pete was there becuase he liked partys.

Finnin felt so important and loved by Zelda and they lived happily ever after swimming and playing and thinking. Thinking about what you may ask......
Well that's another story!


Animal Nonsense

Lets begin:

What if a cow had wings like a bird how absured, a flying herd! And what if a cat had wings like a bat flying at night now what do ya think of that! If mooses wore shoes would they climp and clomp stumble off their heels with a womp and a jump. Giraffs who could count from one to eleven they'd whistle to three and back at seven! Fish who could hop and frogs with a horn there was never a stranger animal born! Hippity hop went the ant on his way flurpity flup went the pig as you may! If ardvarks could fly would they pull santa's sleigh? An jingle and jangle from bells winnie and neigh. Never before has there been such a sight a walrus with chewing gum a mole with a kite! The moe flys so gracefull his friends at his side. A little white chipmunk all full up with pride! He's got a new coat! And what if a goat who likes to climb rocks was really a nanny for part of the day! He'd say to the children its time for your bed! It's never that easy with things in your head! A hippo with hiccups and ostrich or bear it always looks silly when which is not where! This time now has ened with talk of these things it's animal nonsense and if the phone rings don't answer don't hang up it's all the quite same it's animal nonsense! It's all just a game!

Mousikins

Lets begin

Once upon a time there was this mouse named Mousikins. Mousikins lived quietly by himself in a small village in the mountains. He spent most of his day collecting cheese for the other mice in the village. You see everyone took advantage of Mousikins becuase of his good nature and becuase he wanted to be needed. Mousikins didn't know who his mother and father were and had lived most of his four years serving the village. The other mice kids would make fun of him and call him names, "Mushykins!, Mushykins" they would cry out and they would also call him Burt which he hated even more than Mushykins! Mousikins only friends were Madame Chaltet, a womble from England and her friend Chester the hedgehog. They recently moved from England with the hopes of making a go of it in the village. They were a bit older then Mousikins and did not feel the way the rest of the village felt about beating up on a poor defenceless mouse. One day while Mousikins was out gathering cheese for the village a young obnoxious mouse threw a box of animal crackers at him and it smacked him on the head. "Mushykins, Mushykins, Burt, Burt, Burt!" spouted the obnoxious mouse. "you'd better stop calling me that!" cried Mousikins. "What will you do if I don't screamed the obnoxious little mouse. Mousikins mustered all the courage he had and with a very small whimper he said, "I'll stop collecting cheese for the village!!" There was a gasp from the obnoxious mouse and then a moment of uneasy silence. Mousikins realized what he had said. This was something you did not do to the village. The obnoxious mouse started to yell "Mousikins doesn't want to collect cheese for us anymore!!" And he ran throughout the streets yelling and screaming to the townsfolk. Lights tuurned on in the village and all the mice ran out on their porches screaming "what shall we do!, what shall we do!"

Mousikins stood there in horror. He realized that he must leave the village or suffer the consequences. The village would give him to the evil cat, Bob, who lived just on the other side of the mountain. Bob was an evil cat who enjoyed terrorizing the village by coming down and stepping on their houses. He did this only when he did not get his tribute, the cheese given to him by the village which was collected by Mousikins. Mousikins decided to go to Madame Chalet and Chester the hedgehog and see if they could help in the matter. But their house was on the otherside of the village. Mr. Harvey J. Mole would help. Harvey had built a system of tunnels that crept and crawled beneath the village. So off to Harveys went Mousikins. When he arrived, Harvey was in this garden planting some beans.

"Hello Mousikins" said Harvey not knowing what had just happened in the village. Mousikins explained his predicament and asked Harvey for the use of his tunnels. "Sure!" said Harvey and off they went. The tunnels started beneath Harveys' toadstool house and wound their way up and down, side to side, left and right, under Martha mouses house and Virgil mouses house and the twins Larry and Curly mouses house. Everyone in the village had the same last name but know one was related. Finally they arrived beneath Madame Chalet and Chester the hedgehogs house. There was no way to get up into the house. "Lets try knocking" said Mousikins. "Lets try knocking!" said Harvey with a look of disbelief and amusement. "It wouldn't hurt" said Mousikins, so they did. "Knock, knock, knock" up in the house Madame Chalet and Chester had just sat down to a lovely cheese soufle when all of a sudden they heard the thump, thump, thump coming from the floor. "We must have mice!" said a startled Madame Chalet. "We live in a village of mice!" said Chester, "it must be an elephant. "I'll get the peanuts!" Said Madame Chalet and she ran the cupboard. Meanwhile Chester went about looking for the direction the noise was coming from. He found it and proceeded to lift up the floorboards. As Madame Chalet came with the peanuts, the last floorboard was pulled up and Mousikins popped his head out.

"Eek a mouse!" cried Madame Chalet. Mousikins blinked innocently and yelled, "It's me!...Mousikins!" "We were hoping you were an elephant" said Chester in a disgusted tone of voice. "No it's just me and Harvey, we've come for help from you!" Said Mousikins. The two climbled out of the hole in the floor and brushed themselves off. Mousikins explained the situation to Madame Chalet and Chester. "We must take you to the land of people" said Madame Chalet, "There you will be safe!" Since Madame Chalet and Chester had traveled so much they knew people very well and decided this was best for Mousikins.

"The first thing we must do is buy airline tickets" said Madame Chalet, "This is the easiest way to get to people." But what if the other mice recognize me!" said Mousikinds. "We'll diguise you as an infant!" said Chester, "and besides, infants get to fly free!" Mousikins thanked Harvey and the three went on their way, Madame Chalet, Chester and Mousikins wrapped up in a blanket in a stroller. When they arrived at mouse airlines, Madame Chalet bought two tickets. Mousikins was real nervouse that he would be recongnized. "Oh what a cute baby you have!" said the airline attendant. "Thank you" said Madame Chalet. "That baby looks very familiar" said the attendant. "He looks like me!" said Chester, even thought Mousikins was a mouse and Chester was a hedgehog. The attendant recognized Mouikins and yelled, "Hey wait! that's Mousikins! The village is looking for you!"

Mousikins jumped out of the stroller and the three ran for the airplane. The attendant alerted the mouse supervisor, who alerted the mouse patrolman and they announced on the loudspeaker that Mousikins had been spotted. The mouse police checked the plane but there was no sign of the three, so they plane took off. Little did anyone know that Madame Chalet, Chester and Mousikins ahd stowed away in the luggage compartment. Luckily Madame Chalet had wrapped up some of he cheese soufle so they wouldn't go hungry. Well they were off to the land of people. Mousikins wished he could see what movie was playing on the plane. "Oh, well I'll just sleep," said Mousikins. "So will we!" said Madame Chalet and Chester.

They slept and slept till finally the plane landed. It's time to go," said Madame Chalet, and with that they headed out into the world of people. "How do we get to live in a house with people?" Asked mousikins. Madame Chalet pulled a giant box out of her bag. It was covered with stamps. "We mail ourselves!" Said Madame Chalet. The three went to the first house they saw and stood at the door. "Everyone get in the box! I'll knock" said Madame Chalet. Thump thump on the door and then she jumped into the box with them. The door opened and a woman stepped out. "Oh, a box came in the mail!" said the woman and she hurried it into the house. Her husband asked what could it be. "I don't know, but it's for us," she said and franticaly opened the box. As the lid began to open, Mousikins was so excited he began to dance. "Oh dear look wahts in the box!" said the woman, "They're lovely!.....can we ckeep them?" Her husband agreeed and she proceeded to make tea and scones for everyone. After lunch the three went to bed becuase they were tired from their long ordeal. As Mousikins lay in bed sleeping, he smiled and realized he was with friends and new family forever. mousikins blurted out "No more cheese collecting!" and fell fast alseep.

The End


Platypus the duck

Let's begin

Far away past the rolling hills and green glen lay a beautiful pond. The pond was home to many animals such as frogs and fish and turtles and ducks. One such duck family had seven little ducklings who always got into trouble. The seventh ones name was Platypus. Platypus didn't look like his brothers and sisters. He seemed smaller uglier than the rest. "Platypus!, you look silly" the other ducklings would shout and they would splash him till he went off on his own. "Why do they always pick on me!" said Platypus, "It's not my fault I don't look like them!" Platypus would go off to the other side of the pond and visit with his friends the toad and turtle. As he swam he would bellow a hello to all the creatures he would meet. "Hello goldfish!" he would say, "hello dragonfly" "how are you mr. alligator..."Mr. Alligator!" he cried not realizing he had stumbled into the midst of Bumble, the terror of the pond. Luckily Bumble was asleep as Platypus waddled by. Bumble was notorious for invading the ponds habitats and stealing ducklings. Platypus breathed a sigh of relief and headed towards the home of toad and turtle. When he got there they were sitting, sunning themselves.

"Hello Platypus!" said turtle, "it's a lazy day and we're just doing nothing." "Yep" said toad, "a lazy day." Platypus explained how he had gotten away from the other ducklings becuase they made fun of him. "Well, you have to admit you don't look like your average duck!" said toad. "I can't help it!!" yelled Platypus. "I heard that a new family is moving into the pond" said turtle, "and they're a little strange." "When will they be moving in?" asked Platypus. "Tomorrow" said toad. "I must prepare, oh joy!: said Platypus and he scurried home.

When morning came, Platypus hurried to the side of the pond where the new family was moving in. "Oh!" said Platypus as he caught sight of the family. He swam over to say hi. "Oh look!, it's one uf us!" said the mom of the family. "You look like me!" said Platypus. "Of course" said the dad of the family, "we are all platypus." "That's my name!', said Platypus. "Let me explain something to you son" said the dad platypus. "You are called Platypus because you are one!" This was a shock to Platypus. I'm a duck!" said Platypus. "No, you're a platypus, we are the protectors of the pond" said dad platypus. This made Platypus feel very important. There job was simple, get rid of the evil Bumble the alligator. They would do this the next morning.

Platypus would show the other duckling brothres and sisters
or in reality his step brothers and sisters how important he really was. Platypus rushed home to tell his wonderful news to the ducklings. "You're crazy!" said one of the ducklings.
"You're making up the story becuase you want to be important" said another duckling. "I'll show you tomorrow!" said Platypus and he went to bed.

The next day all the platypus from the new family and Platypus assembled in the middle of the pond. All the ducks as well as everyone else was shocked. Platypus looked exactly like the new family. Platypus walked to the front of the family and said, "We platypus will rid the pond of Bumble the alligator." The crowd gathered cheering as the Platypus setout to rid the pond of Bumble. not half a mile from the crowd, the platypus heard a scream. They ran back to the village and saw Bumble terrorizing them. Bumble had one of the ducklings cornerd and was about to eat him. The platypus all clasped hands and ran forward towards Bumble. As they got within feet of Bumble they all screamed real loud. Bumble turned around, eyes buldging and let out a scream and ran and ran till he fell off the earth. The ponds inhabitants let out a yell "yeh!" From that day on Platypus would never be made fun of again and was always known from that point on as Platypus The Duck!

The End


Moosic

Lets begin

Once upon a time in a far off cold land callled Snowtown lived a young moose named Moosic. Mousic was the sort of moose that didn't like the cold. He didn't like to frolic in the snow like the other mooses. moosic would put on his snow boots which the bought at Gertrude Penguins snowboot retail store next to Merl polar bears frosted drink and haircut place in downtown Snowtown. He would also put on his mittens and scarf and heavy sweater and then proceed to go out and stand in the snow watching the other mooses frolic. Moosic liked to watch them but then it would get too cold for him and he would go back inside.

One day while Moosic was having his breakfast of salmon and hot cocoa a knock came at the door, "who is it" Moosic said. "It's me, Finster! can I come in!" cried Finster. "Sure Moosic said. Finster was Moosics best moose friend. He understood Moosics dislike of the cold. "We have to figure out a way to warm things up" Moosic said as he gulped down the tasty cocoa. "I have heard that in a far off cave in the snowy mountains there lives and old hermit who has the secret to warming things up," said Finster.

You see Moosic and Finster were not the only ones in Snowtown that disliked the cold. Ever since anyone can remember all the animals in snowtown have struggled with the cold. Mr. Pop polar bear even tried to invent a heating system which he called "Pop Polar Bears Heating System." Breathing hot air into a big, then he tied the bad and sold them for 20 salmon apiece. The problem with this was when you got the bag home it got cold and the bags were so small there was not enough of the air to warm even a closet. Needless to say he didn't make much salmon on this idea.
The Mooses were even cold but they felt since they were the strongest in Snowtown, they should not let the others know how they felt. But back to the story.

Finster had mentioned an old hermit in a cave that knew how to warm things up. "That's just a fable," said Moosic. "It's not a fable becuase I've been there and have seen him!" said Finster defiantly. "You have!?" said Moosic. "Is it far?" "No" said Finser, "just over the Ice mountain." "We have to tell the others" said Moosic, "Let's go!" So the tow mooses got in their heavy cloths and went out and put up signs all around Snowtown. The signs read, "Big Meeting about heat at the town square at noon!" "Everyone be there!" Signed Moosic and Finster. And so at noon Moosic and Finster arrived at the town square. All of the mooses and penquins and polar bears and other animals were there waiting. Also animals from the other villages such as Iceville and Freeztonia showed up. The word had spread about possible heat! Moosic and Finster walked up to the podium and everyone hushed. Moosic cleared his throat and began to speak "gobbledy gobbledy goopy wop mop" said Moosic. Everyone said "what?" Moosic was shy when it came to speaking to large crowds so Finster took over. "What Moosic is trying to say is we know where to get the secret of heat!" Said Finster boldly. Everyone started to mumble, "mumble mumble mumble" said everyone. One large moose named Rocky stepped out of the crowd he didn't beleive Moosic and Finster. "How do you know this!" said the bull headed Rocky. "I know because I know this!" said Finster right back. "Then we all are going with you to see for ourselves" said rocky. Everyone knodded agreeingly. "Okay lets meet here in an hour and we will go" said Finser. Everyone agreed. "Gooby farfm grumble diddy" said Moosic. Everyone looked back. "He says thank you" said Finster. With that they all set about getting ready for the journey.

In an hour everyone from all over had gathered in the square with their carts full of bagage and paper bags filled with lunches for the baby mooses and penquins and polar bears. Moosic and Finster went to the head of the group and the march began over hills and through valleys, past giant forests and beautiful waterfalls. After a few hours everyone decided to take a break and have lunch. Salmon tarts, salmon and crackers, salmon salad, and for desert a salmon moose. Finster and Moosic just had a bit of cheese. After lunch it was time to move on so everyone got up and proceeded to the cave of the hermit. After hours had passed they finally reached the Ice mountain. "Everyone wait here" said Finster. Gobby wob wob!" said Moosic. The couwd said "what!" He said "yeah" said Finster. So Moosic and Finster climbled the mountain. They had no trouble climbing the ice because moosic was smart and brought four pairs of mountain climbing boots frm Herb penguins ice mountain climbing store and chocolate shop in downtown Snowtown. As they climbed they heard a pecular chirping sound coming from an ice ledge. As they got closer they was it was a polar duck. Polar ducks are different from regular ducks because they like to build snowmen and you can't do this in warm regular duck areas. "Excuse me, we're looking for the hermit who lives up here" said Finster . The polar duck looked up from his work annoyingly, "can't you see i'm building a snowman!" "Sorry we disturbed you" said Moosic," but we need to find him." "I will tell you if you have a carrot and 2 pieces of coal and a button so I can finish my masterpiece." Said the polar duck. Moosic was worried that he would not have these items but he would check in his bag anyway. Moosic opened his bag and found some bits of salmon, some string he was saving, two paper clips, ten silver coins and an empty bad of hot air sold to him by Pop polar bear. "That will do" said the polar duck as he grabbed the items from Moosic. Finster and moosic could not figure out what the polar duck would use these items for but they didn't bother to ask him. "Thank you, and now I will tell you where the hermit lives. Climb a little farther up and then yell "Henry"! and ther hermit will find you" said the polar duck. "Thank you," said Moosic and Finster. "Enjoy the salmon and string and paperclips." "Oh I will" said the polar duck and off the two went up the mountain when they finally reched the area the polar duck said they gaave out a loud yell "Henry!" The sound echoed all around the mountain and shook trees and ground, then everything went silent. All of a sudden a head popped out of the snow a short bearded little elf like human with pointy ears and a little staff "What!!!!" he grumbled out."Are you the hermit who has the secret of heat" said Moosic. "So what if I am" said the little elf like guy. "We have ventured for hours looking for you, we need wo warm ourselves and we were told you can help us" said Finster. "On your way up did a polar duck ask you for anything" said the elf inquisitively. "Yes," said Moosic, "and I gave him what I had left." "Well that's my pet polar duck and since you have been so kind to him I will give you my secret" said the wise old hermit elf.

So the elf took Moosic and Finster to a large cave. "This is my house" said the hermit. As they entered Moosic and Finster felt what only can be described as warm. Yes it was definitly a warm feeling. As the three proceeded deeper into the cave they saw a reddish yellow glow coming from a hold in the back wall of the cave. "This is what I call a fire place" said the hermit," this is my secret and in it is what I call fire." The secret had been revealed and Moosic and Finster jumped for joy as high as mooses could jump. For hours the hermit taught Moosic and Finster how to build a fireplace and make fire. "Thank you hermit" said Moosic and Finster as they left the cave headed down the mountain with the new found knowlege. They finally reached the others who were getting restless waiting for the two. Moosic and Finster showed the animals what they had learned. Everyone cheerred except on thing, they did not like the word "fire" so they all decided to call the heat "Bangenfloutenborf". This was a grander word for such a wonderous thing. And so the animals rejoiced as each home built their Bangenfloutenborf and no one ever again complained about the cold.


Dweeble's Closet

Dweeble was an inquisitive mouse. Just ask anyone who happened to be at least five feet in his vicinity. Why is the sky blue, why do we have tails, were does cheese come from, what is the square root of 62, if two train speeding at a velocity of 900 miles stop at equal distance for lunch! The questions go on and on. So much so that other mice decided they would avoid the questions by avoiding Dweeble all together. This led Dweeble to spend more and more time alone in his room. Playing with his kinder surprise toys and presenting his quesitons to them. Of course they did not answer, which frustrated Dweeble to no end. When Dweeble was totally frustrated by the silent toys, he would burst from his room, blurting out incoherent, auctioneering, machine gun like questions to his mother. She would stand there patiently like all mothers do and listen to her little sons questions. It's not that she was patient that enabled her to withstand Dweebl's verbal assault. She was hard of hearing in one ear and had plugged the other ear with a piece of hardened cheese. She had learned this years ago when Dweeble first began his rise to question king of the family. She would just smile and nod and say "Dweeble, your father knows the answer to this and that he will tell you as soon as he comes home". Knowing full well her husband, Dweebles father would not be home again for months, being that he was a mouse first mate on a cheese ship bound for the Orient.

Eventually Dweeble would tire himself out and his mom would carry him to his room. Still mumbling questions between snores. This was moms time now, the silence was golden and deafing at the same time. She would dance to and fro singing "Dweebles gone to bed now" until she fell fast asleep.

In the middle of the night Dweeble was awakened by a thumping sound coming from his closet. He sat up and listened. The thumping grew to a scratching sound and then a pounding sound. Dweeble was frightened. "Could there be monsters in his closet and what did they eat? Were they furry with large fangs, did they speak like mice? if two of these creatures were on seperate trains going 600 miles and hour, which train would stop for lunch first? Even in his fright, Dweeble could not, not ask quesitons.

Dweeble jumped up and put on his bunny rabbit pajamas with the feet, Dweeble wore these whenever he got scared and ran screaming to his mom. "There's a monster in my closet, ther's a monter in my cloest!" Dweebles mom awoke and calmed him down explaining there could be no monsters in the closet because there were no such things as monsters. Dweeble's mom believed even if there were they would not attempt to deal with the fifty questions a minute Dweeble. She tucked him back to sleep and told him things would be better in the morning.

Morning came and went, afternoon came and went and in crept evening. Things seem to happen faster when you are scared thought Dweeeble. Dweeble stayed in the TV room watching reruns of the Andy Griffmouse show till it was time to go to bed. "Bed time" yelled his mother. A sinking feeling crept into the pit of Dweeble's stomach. Dweeble thought this would be his last night alive. Mother, if i'm not around anymore please answer there 100 questions I put on this paper. Dweebles mom thought this absurd and told him they would discuss this in the morning.

Dweeble would not die without a fight. He put on his trusty rabbit pajamas with the feet and climbed in bed waiting for the terrible onslaught that would befall him during the night. As the hours passed Dweeble let exhaustion take over fear and fell fast asleep. In the wee hours Dweeble was awakened by the same thudding, scratching sound of the night before. Dweeble jumped out of bed. But insead of heading to his mom, he headed for the closet. The sounds grew lounder and louder as he entred the closet. The closet was a maze of toys and clothes and question games. Dweeble loved question games. He moved boxes and clothes and games and things and found another door. The sound had grown very loud and seemed to be coming from behind the newly discovered door. Dweeble procceded to cautiously open the door when all of a sudden it was pushed open by this long, large, furry clawed arm. Dweeble was thron back into a corner of the closet. The monster thrust it's face into the small doorway only able to get its nose and mouth into the closet. The creature let out a screatch and tried desperately to gobble up Dweeble. Dweeble felt he would not get out alive even though he was wearing his invinsable rabbit pajamas with the feet. With all the courage he could muster, he jumped up and slammed the newly found door in the face of the monster and ran back into his room, catching his rabbit pajamas with feet on something which ripped them into shreds. Dweeble too off what as left and dropped them into his closet and ran not to his mom but straight outside to the meadow.

When morning came Dweebles mother went to wake him, only to find the shredded rabit pajamas with the feet and the inner closet door ajar. "Oh my Dweeble has been eaten!" She cried, Why didn't I ever tell him about the creature, humans call cats," She thought to herself. From now on she would answer any question anyone had even if they hadn't a question. At that moment Dweeble burst in from the meadow and explained to his mom what had happened the night before. She jumped for joy seeing her son still in one piece, questions and all. "Mother from now on I will never ask a queston again said Dweeble." And so they lived happily ever after mother answering every question or not and Dweeble never going into his closet again.

The End.
