Machzor for a beginning reader

rhuAlissa has started reading. Very simple books, but still: yay!
And it means that when she comes to synagogue this weekend, during the musaf amidah when everyone is reading silently for fifteen minutes, we have a chance for her to not be bored. She's very motivated, especially about tefillot, and so I thought that it would be a worthwhile exercise to try to write a simple translation of the Musaf Amidah for Rosh Ha-shanah that adopts the repetitive style and simple vocabulary of a children's book, but that captures the essence of each of the berachot.
So, here it is. Comments and suggestions for improvements are welcome.
