Kerwin the Ketchup Bottle

by Jane Hutchison

When Sam Hutchison was about three years old, he and his mom Jane had a game they played when he was in the bath. Sam would ask his mom to make up a story by giving her an idea to start the story. One evening, Sam picked up an empty ketchup bottle, filled it with water and squeezed it, making a "bloop, bloop, bloop" sound and asked, "Please tell me how this ketchup bottle became a bath toy!" The story of Kerwin the Ketchup Bottle started that night and was re-told over and over until friends of Sam's asked for it to be written down. Finally, Sam's talented "auntie" Charlene Duncan agreed to illustrate "Kerwin" and we hope other children and their parents will enjoy our story as much as we have.
