IMPORTANT PEOPLE, IMPORTANT GORILLAS "My Important People," wrote Bean at the top of her paper. Whew! Seventeen letters! Time for a break. "Bean," said Ms. Aruba-Tate. "Do you need help?" "I'm resting," explained Bean. "Nobody else is resting," Vanessa said. Her table was next-door to Bean's. She was already drawing pictures of her Important People.

"Thank you, Vanessa," said Ms. Aruba-Tate, in a way that really meant, Stop talking. Then she said "Bean" in a way that really meant, Get to work.

Bean sighed and picked up her pencil. My Important People. Okie-dokie, line 'em up. She drew her mom. She drew her mom eating a whole cake by herself. Her mom liked cake.

"Mom," she wrote. Then she drew her dad, with a wooden spoon. He was making more cake for her mom. "Dad," she wrote. Bean scrunched her older sister, Nancy, down in a corner. She drew some flies buzzing around her head. "Nancy," she wrote. Bean looked around the classroom. Everyone was drawing like crazy. Eric was drawing so hard his tongue was hanging out. Marga-Lee had made frames around each of her Important People. Bean wished she'd thought of that. She went back to drawing. Grandma. Grandpa. Other Grandpa. Two uncles. Three aunts. Four cousins. One cousin who wasn't a real cousin, but Bean liked him a lot anyway. He had a pet alligator. Bean put the alligator in there, too. Cool! Now Ivy.
