The First Slodge

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jenni Desmond. "Once upon a slime, there was a Slodge. The first Slodge in the universe." She goes about her life and then gets a shock: "There was another Slodge!" After a competitive period, they realize that "the world...belonged to everyone." The Slodges, who resemble solid-color blobs, enact this atmospheric creation-story-like parable about altruism set in a near-barren mountainside setting.
