A Girl Named Earle — Anne Toole

There was a little girl,

and her name was Earle.

Some of the children at school teased this little girl

because her name was Earle.

They thought that a name like Earle

shouldn't be a name for a girl.

Living in this world can sometimes be tough.

During recess one day, Earle decided she'd had enough!

Read the story to find out what Earle did

to some of the other kids.

Did it make the children stop making fun of this little girl

because her name just happened to be Earle?
