E's First Novel

Today, E wrote us a book.

We told her that soon we would go to Las Vegas and she would stay with Grandma Paula while we went on a trip. She made this book for us to read while we were gone.

I will provide translation. She wrote it by herself and only asked me how to spell "said."
