Drew, the "Arthur"

So, Drew wants to be an "arthur" (author) when he grows up. He has decided to start his career by writing a dictionary. He has been working on this the last couple of night after dinner. He just grabs his crayons and paper and sits down at the table. He is doing this entirely on his own and has not asked anyone else any questions or for any help.

He tells me that writing a dictionary is hard work and takes a long time. He is still on "A", but he is going strong. Since the quality of the scan is not great, I am writing a translation of each page under the copy. He is doing an amazing job and it is hilarious. Enjoy...
