Bella Saves the Beach Book Tour and Excerpt!

Bella Saves the Beach--third in the Bella and Britt Series is Here!

About the book:

Bella and Britt are worried about all the trash appearing on their beautiful beach. But what can they do? Britt is leaving on vacation, and Bella can’t solve the problem alone. Without adults to lend a hand, can they possibly save their beach?

Excerpt:

Bella, Britt and all their friends built sand castles and filled moats with salty sea. But this summer, the girls were worried.

“Look at all this trash, Britt,” said Bella.

She nodded. “Yeah, and I leave on vacation tomorrow. I can’t help pick it up!”

Next morning, Bella walked along the beach alone. “Hello.” Bella said to the old crooked beak pelican, perched on his piling. “Somebody has to help, and I guess it’s me.”

The Adventures of My Family of Eight Blog--Pelican Giveaway!

Today, we are going multi-generational.  This terrific blog, The Adventures of My Family of Eight, showcases how families of different generations can and do live together in one house.  And can be happy doing it!  How great is that!

What, you may ask, does that have to do with One Pelican at a Time?  Well, we are getting you ready for what you'll see in this fabulous blog.  One thing is for sure.  You'll see an interview of Pelican.  Let's see if it's favorable. 

A copy of One Pelican at a Time will be given away today.  All you need to do is make a comment on the blog above!!

We have been very fortunate so far with each interview's being wonderful.  Mr. Pelican thinks our luck will hold out, thanks mainly to his wit, charm and savoir faire. 

He could be right, of course, although Britt and Bella doubt it. 

I'm the author.  I don't say a word!

Interview on J. Aday Kennedy: A Writing Playground

We are visiting a playground today.  A writing playground, that is.  J. Aday Kennedy has an informative and thoughtful blog called, J.Aday Kennedy:  A Writing Playground.

                                                                                    

Look, girls.  Let me take the lead today at this interview.  I'll read it and let you know if it's a good one.  That okay with you?

Uh, sure, Mr. Pelican.  You think you can handle the reading part? 

Bella, what a question!  You know I'm an excellent reader.  That hurts my feelings.

Sorry, Mr. P.  I just thought...

Wait a minute.  Are you telling me this interview is in English?

Well, yes.

Oh, that may be a problem.  You know I only read Pelican.

 

An Interview with As the Pages Turn Blog

We have another interview today at As the Pages Turn.  Britt, Bella, Pelican and I are very happy to be part of this blog today.  We hope you can join us, too!

"Yeah, girls.  I heard there's a lot about us in this interview!  And our esteemed author?  Not so much.  I can't wait to read it!"

"I didn't know you could read, Mr. Pelican."

"Well, Bella, I can't really, but promise not to tell anyone.  I wouldn't want my fans to be disappointed.  Besides, you and Britt can read it to me."

"Yes, of course, we can, Mr. Pelican."

"Aw, Britt.  You're just too nice.  I think we should keep him guessing a little longer."

"Okay, Bella.  I just don't want any pelican drama."

"I promise, girls, or you can have all my fish.  Ur ah eh, one of my fish..."

Ahh.  End of Day!



One Pelican at a Time Virtural Book Tour, April and May, 2011

Bella, Britt, Pelican and I will virtually tour the blogosphire, beginning  April 4 through May 27, 2011 on my first virtual book tour with Pump Up Your Book! And, of course, none of us would be touring without the marvelous artwork by Samantha Bell.

About One Pelican at a Time

Bella and Britt love living by the beach. When they find oil washing to shore from a gulf spill, they want to help but are told there is nothing for kids to do. But when their old friend the crooked beak pelican, becomes covered with oil, they help save his life by their quick thinking and action.

Read the Excerpt

The girls waited and watched while adults tried to fix the problem. That is, until they saw the old pelican leave his perch and plunge into a patch of blackened sea.

Britt gasped.  "Will he come back up?"

"If he does, how can he live? Bella asked.

But he did come to the surface, covered in heavy tacky oil. After seeing his oily feathers, the girls took action.

"Help! Help us help the pelican! both girls screamed.

Normally on such a hot summer day, the beach boy would be renting colorful umbrellas to his customers. Instead, he sat alone on the sand. "What's wrong?" He jumped up and ran toward the girls.

"The old pelican! The old pelican! We have to save him! Bella sobbed.

"Come on. No time to lose!" The young man sprinted down the beach toward the clean-up crews.

"Ah, I know that old bird," nodded the crew chief. "Let's go get him."

                       One Pelican at a Time coming soon!
