All we need is love, love is all we need!

Let's do this! Thank you so much for tuning into today's story. Don't forget to rate and follow, so you never miss out on all the Ryer's Reader's Fun. Before we get into the story, do you want to know a fun fact? Did you know? Chocolate chip cookies were actually an accident! Chocolate chip cookies were invented by accident in the 1930s when Ruth Wakefield, who ran the Toll House in, added chopped up chocolate bars to her cookie dough, expecting

them to melt and blend into the batter. Instead, the chunks held their shape, creating the first chocolate chip cookies. Now that's what I call a happy accident. Pretty cool, huh? Okay, story time. Today, we are going to read, All we need is love, and a really soft pillow, by Peter H. Reynolds and his son, Henry Rocket Reynolds. Little one, I've got you. We've got love. Love is all we need.

Yes, love and a really soft pillow. Well, yes, little one, love and a really soft pillow. That's all we need. And Poppy, a roof would be very useful to keep the rain and sun off our heads. Yes, little one. A roof, a pillow, and love. But that's it. That's all we need. Oh, and four walls to keep the bugs out. Walls, yes, walls. Four walls and a roof, a pillow, and love.

How sweet. How simple life can be. This is all we need. Poppy, we need water. True, little one. Water is essential, like love. Water, four walls, a roof, and a really soft pillow. Or two. That and love is all we need, Poppy.

How sweet and simple life can be. I was thinking, Poppy, that chocolate, Chocolate would be very nice too. Chocolate, yes. Chocolate would be a way to celebrate our sweet and simple life. Chocolate, water, four walls, a roof, two really soft pillows, and love. Perfectly, simple. Poppy, it occurred to me.

We need a pot to cook in and a tub to bat in. Brilliant, little one! We'll have everything we need. Love and a bathtub. A cooking pot? Chocolate. Water, four walls, a roof, and two really soft pillows. And that's all we need. A sweet and simple life. Happy. Do you know what would make life even more perfect? A vegetable garden and a fruit tree. I thought you were going to say books, little one. Ah, books! Yes! We'll need books too. Veggies, fruit, and books. All essential. We've got all we need.

Some books, a fruit tree, a vegetable garden, a bathtub, a cooking pot, chocolate, water, water, four walls, a roof, two really soft pillows, and last but not least, love. Pappy, we do need just one more thing. A toilet! Very practical, my smart and clever little one. A toilet, some books, a fruit tree, a vegetable garden, a bathtub, a cooking pot, chocolate, four walls, water, a roof, two really soft pillows, and of course, love. Poppy, our roof has a leak. A storm is blowing in, little one.

Hang on to me tightly. The stormy winds took everything. The toilet, the books, the fruit from the tree, every vegetable from the garden, the bathtub, the cooking puffs, The hot, the chocolate, the water, the roof, the four walls, and two really soft pillows. Everything went flying except for Poppy and Little One, who held on tight to the tree, whose roots were very deep. The wind and rain stopped.

Wet and weary, Poppy and Little One rested. We lost everything, Poppy. Little one, we have each other. We have love. And love is all we need. Yes, Poppy. And a really soft pillow. Each day is a new day,

a new chance to count our blessings and savor the journey with those we love. Peter H. Reynolds. The end. Don't forget to stick around to see if you can answer today's paying attention question. Before you go, do you think you can answer today's paying attention question? When the stormy winds blew, what did Poppy and Little One hold onto so that they didn't blow away? If your answer was a tree?

You did it! Great job! you sure were paying attention. I hope you enjoyed that story. I wonder what we're going to read next.
