                  Can Jason draw other pictures with circles?

Jenny:      Well, for example, this morning he drew a picture of a mouse.

Kathy:        A mouse?

Jenny:      Yes.  He drew a big circle for the head.

                  Then he drew two circles next to each other -- inside the big circle.

Kathy:      Those were the eyes?

Jenny:      That’s right.  Those were the eyes.

                  Then he drew a small circle for the nose, under the eyes.

                  Then he drew a mouth below the nose.

Kathy:      And what about the ears?

Jenny:        He drew a circle on each side of the head.

                  Those were the ears.

Kathy:      You can make a lot of pictures with circles, can’t you?

Jenny:      Yes.  A circle can be a clock, or a balloon, or a basketball.

Kathy:        Or a cookie.  Mmm, I’m getting hungry.
