Here’s a children’s story in the form of a 24-line poem, featuring a chimpanzee and a bottlenose dolphin with rainbows as a central theme:
Page 1:
In a jungle so lush and so green,
Page 2:
Lived Chimpy the chimp, quite serene.
Page 3:
In a far-off blue ocean, so wide,
Page 4:
Swam a dolphin named Dilly, full of pride.
Page 5:
One magical day, in the sky,
Page 6:
A rainbow appeared, oh so high!
Page 7:
Chimpy climbed high in a tree,
Page 8:
To touch the rainbow, just to see.
Page 9:
Meanwhile, Dilly leaped from the sea,
Page 10:
Chasing the rainbow’s end with glee.
Page 11:
They met where the land met the wave,
Page 12:
Under the rainbow’s arc, they did rave.
Page 13:
Chimpy swung down with a grin,
Page 14:
Dilly splashed, making the water spin.
Page 15:
Together they danced under the bow,
Page 16:
Watching the colors, high and low.
Page 17:
Red, orange, yellow, shining bright,
Page 18:
Green, blue, indigo, and violet light.
Page 19:
They laughed and played in the sun,
Page 20:
Making friendship, second to none.
Page 21:
When the rainbow began to fade,
Page 22:
A promise of joy was made.
Page 23:
For whenever rain meets the sun,
Page 24:
Rainbows will show, and they’ll have fun.
This story can be nicely spread across the pages of a coloring book, with each line accompanied by an illustration for children to color. Remember, the paper weight for this project would ideally be around 70# to handle crayons and colored pencils well.
