Eiffel Tower Pipsie_WEBHi, everybody,

Today is International Children’s Book Day. Pipsie and I love an ADVENTURE so we decided to visit the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France, and enjoy an INTERNATIONAL day.

Springtime in Paris is WONDERFUL…all the beautiful flowers and people walking along the avenues.

The best part is all the cafés. And a fresh, French croissant with peanut butter and jelly is ooh-la-la de-LICIOUS!!!

Pipsie Cake Hi, Kids,

Yesterday was awesome because it was the day that our first book,
“The Disappearing Caterpillar” was delivered to everyone who ordered it early.

That was cool…but what I REALLY loved was that friends Nancy, Amy and Tom stopped by with a chocolate cake with PIPSIE and ME right on top made out of DELICIOUS ICING!

So everyone, please enjoy reading all about Pipsie and me…I’m about to enjoy another piece of chocolate cake!

Have a TURTLE-riffic day! –––Alfred Z. Turtle

Hi, Kids,

I’d like you to meet my cousin Alfred E. Turtle.  He’s AWESOME! Sometimes I go to his house and we hang out in his pond. He LOVES to eat cucumbers and grapes and cantaloupe. Me…I prefer peanut butter and jelly.

Have a TURTLE-riffic day! –––Alfred Z. Turtle

pest-detectiveHi, Fellow Nature Detectives!

Here is my FIRST BLOG and it’s EXCITING!

My name is Alfred Z. Turtle.

My best friend is Pipsie, and she’s about to solve an AMAZING mystery.

Pipsie is a nature detective. She LOVES everything wild. Like ocean waves.
And tall trees.  And animals and bugs. And turtles, naturally!

And she loves solving mysteries. And that’s REALLY good–because our new friend Frannie the caterpillar just disappeared!

You can read all about it in PIPSIE NATURE DETECTIVE–The Disappearing Caterpillar.

Want to know what I love? Peanut butter and jelly. And riding on my scooter. And helping Pipsie solve mysteries.

Then eating MORE peanut butter and jelly.  Hey–is it time for lunch yet?

                                    –Alfred Z. Turtle
