7 random facts about . . .who?

Good morning everyone in Bloggerville! Zebee here. Well, last week was fun with Jennifer Gladen. We al look forward to her visiting us again when A Star in the Night published.

So, one of the comments left last week by Lori Calabrese tagged us to give 7 random facts about us.

Since several of us wanted to participate, we decided to each give seven random facts.

Here’s mine
1 I like to listen in when humans walk by, never know what you might hear.
2 I think (but don’t let the others know) that zebras are the most beautiful animals in the world.
3 I love to travel the world zoos.
4 I like to play hide and seek.
5 I have a great smile, don’t you think?
6 I wonder what this food humans eat called pizza is like.
7 I don’t like getting wet.

Okay, my turn. Hi I’m Mori.
1 I like the fact that my friends here at the ‘V Zoo’ gave me a surprise party.
2 Even though I’m at the end of the zoo, I get lots of visitors.
3 I can lick my ears with my tongue! Bet you can’t do that.
4 If you could touch me, I’d feel like velvet.
5 I like to play hide and seek too. I guess Zebee and I are good at it because of our stripes.
6 I get scared at night. It’s dark.
7 Zebee wonders what pizza’s like, I wonder about the stuff you call ice cream. Is it good?

our boss Joy
1 I live on a sailboat.
2 I love to snorkel and take pictures underwater.
3 I don’t like the cold, maybe for a day. Give me warm sunshine any day.
4 I speak English and Spanish and can understand French and Italian.
5 I have two sisters, one older and one younger. We are all totally different.
6 I have a daughter, son, step daughter and two grand children.
7 I like watching Spanish ‘telenovelas’. (Spanish soap operas/mini series)

Hey Zebee, do the rest of us get a turn?

Some other time, I promise. We’ve got to go for now. Our boss Joy is going to be on Suzanne Lieurance’s “Book Bites for Kids” today at 3 pm Eastern time. Hope all of you people out there in Bloggerville will tune in and listen to her. She’s going to talk about “Zooprise Party / Fiesta Zoorpresa”. You can catch the show at
Blog Talk Radio

By for now. Thursday we’re going to read about a professor somebody or other. See you then.

Children's Writer Margot Finke Has Two New E-Picture Books Available on CD or Download.

This second new e-picture book by Margot Finke teaches children about animals that may be a bit more familiar than the typical "Aussie animals" in her other new book. Yet, it includes facts about each creature that will be new information to most readers. Prairie dogs, Bald Eagles, and Skunks are all subjects for the charming rhymes in her e-book, Prairie Dog's Playday. Detailed illustrations make the books easy to follow.

Do you know what skunks eat for breakfast? Or, how Bald Eagles take care of their young, or how prairie dogs protect themselves from other animals? You will after reading this cute book. Story time truly takes on a magical feel with these two new delightful e-picture books from Margot Finke. (see her review of Don't Eat Platypus Stew on Suzanne Lieurance’s Review Page)

A special memo about E-Books on CD or Download.
from Margot Finke

I know Zebee and friends are all computer savvy – like your kids.
E-Books, like “Prairie Dog’s Play Day,” are read on a screen.
They are innovative and different.
Let them earn a special place in your child’s reading library.

Read on a laptop or computer:
*They can stop back seat squabbles during a long car trip
*Take your child’s mind off a dentist or doctor’s visit
*Great for a rainy afternoon in the family room
*Easy to pack and take to Grandma’s house
*Reading fun – a welcome distraction!
*Encourage reluctant readers
*Cool to share with friends
*Fun to learn from

Zebee tells me nothing takes the place of snugglingwith a wonderful bedtime story from a hoof held book. I agree!

But hey, Zebee, Mori, Lito, Elvis and the rest of the gang at the zoo, only go to bed at night.
What about all the other spare hours in their day. . .???????????

YEA! The magic and fun of e-Books comes to life at a daytime Zooprise Party
orWhen your child whines, “Mom, I’m bored!”
