Did your teacher suggest using fruits rather than names in your story?
Changing people's names to fruits doesn't make any sense to me and defeats the purpose of writing about Cartier.
I have to creat a kids book of about 15 pages or more that tells the story of Jacques Cartier, Samuel de Champlain, or Life in New France. It has to be written nice and simple with awesome drawings for kids! But, I must tell the whole story.
I decided to do Jacques Cartier. The first sentence is the original timeline, the second sentence is the altered one I'm going to use in the story as it's for little kids. Here's what I've got.
1. Once there was a man named Jacques Cartier.
Once there was a little round red fruit named Mr. Cherry.
2. The King sent him to find the Northwest Passage.
The pineapple king sent him to....(Any ideas of what can I replace the Northwest Passage with?)
PS. I'm going to use fruits as the main theme.
Any assistance is appreciated. Thank you very much.

Well, it's sort of a parody. The teacher wanted us to write about Cartier, but in a way that makes the story funny, cute and/or enjoyable for the little kids.
Larry,
Little kids like things to make sense. Your fruit parody will not teach them anything. Stick to the instructions. Tell the story.
