#1 Gumby up to Bat!


1. Grandparents: This is a picture of Gumby from the ever popular 70s animated series. However, he did first grace the stage in 1953's Gumbasia. He was created by Art Clokey from Michigan. Gumby and his horse friend Pokey are legendary figures in the claymation world today. This picture of Gumby shows his friendly and kind nature. With his very high pitched voice, Gumby has made generations laugh. The Adventures of Gumby and Pokey was a huge success.
2. Kindergardeners: This is a picture of Gumby playing baseball. He is up to bat and has a smile on his face. Many people know Gumby because he was a famous cartoon a long time ago. Gumby is very flexible and his kelly green color makes him stick out. This picture is funny because Gumby is holding a baseball bat. His best friend is a horse named Pokey. Pokey and Gumby go on adventures together and have loads of fun! If you look at Gumby's hand you can see just how flexible he actually is. He can twist his body all the way around!

Dear Princess Sparkle,
Your entries were amazing. Believe it or not, when I was young I watched the Gumby show with the Block Heads. I especially appriciated the historyfrom the grandparents perspective. If there is any need for improvment, it would be to relate more to the kindergardeners by putting yourself in their shoes, basically how they see it. I loved your stories!

hey princess sparkle
good stories!! i liked how you gave information about the gumby show i never knew those facts. with the grandparent story i think you caould have made it more personal, like you really were talking to your grandparents. the kindergardener story was appropriate for their age. it was good how you told them how fexable gumy is. i didnt really get why its funny that he is holding a bat.
