Elwin’s First Concert
Dear Hailey, Wow, am I ever beat! Last night was my very first concert and it was beyond my wildest dreams! I can’t believe all those fans turned out just to see me! While Dacey Bryn was out front introducing me my heart was pounding so loudly I was sure the crowd would be able to hear it from backstage. There was only one tiny glitch. I did forget some of the words during my first song. I just looked out into this sea of faces and I was so freaked out for a moment I lost my place! But it was okay because my back-up singers just jumped in and covered for me. I don’t think anyone even noticed. But now I am exhausted! In fact, I’m so tired it’s almost enough to make me forget about my motion sickness. Almost – but not quite. Later! Love, El
Science Camp Experiment: Invisible Ink
Dear Mom, You know what’s weird about the counselors here? They encourage us to pass secret notes during lab! It’s not like we’re sneaking around though. It’s part of an experiment. We made invisible ink this week and we have been sending each other secret messages ever since! Sometimes the counselors even send us messages too! It’s really easy making invisible ink. Here’s how you do it: What you need: - 2 tablespoons lemon juice - ½ teaspoon water - Q tip - Paper - Lamp - An adult assistant What you do: Mix the lemon juice and the water in a small cup. Dip the Q tip into the lemon mixture and use it to write your message on the paper. Let the lemon juice dry and the message should disappear. In order to read your message, have an adult assistant help you hold it close to a light bulb, until the heat from the light bulb turns the lemon juice brown. Remember these instructions, mom, because the next letter you get from me might LOOK blank, but hold it up to a light and you’ll get a surprise! Miss you! Love Alex
Ella Interviews Arte
I’m here today with everyone’s favorite explorer, Arte Fact. Arte, thanks so much for taking time out of your busy schedule to do an interview! Arte Fact: My pleasure, Ella. It’s been a long while since anyone asked to interview me about anything! Ella: I find that hard to believe. After all, you’ve had quite an exciting career! AF: I have, it’s true. Even though I’ve settled down somewhat, I do occasionally miss those old days of crazy adventure. EM: What was your craziest adventure? AF: I have to pick just one? That’s impossible! They were all quite outstanding. The time I went to the top of Mount ‘Kinz…the time I discovered the gem mines…meeting the Azure Zingoz…it was all fantastic. EM: A lot of folks have wanted to know: are you still in touch with Matilda? AF: Matilda Monkey? Why, yes. She and I email each other at least once a week. She’s teaching right now, in West Webkinz World. She’s a beloved professor, and I’m so proud of her. She’s extremely talented. I attended one of her lectures once – her students just adore her. EM: And you? How do you feel about Matilda? AF: She’s an … Read more

Play Booger gets an A!
School’s out for summer, so what better time to brush up on your math skills? Now with Booger Gets an A, you’ll be able to be an arithmetic ace by the time September rolls around! Just look at the number Booger is thinking of and make it by clicking on blocks that add up to the number. Certain blocks have symbols on them and if you use the blocks in your addition, you can use their powers. A block with an eraser will erase one line of numbers. A block with a clock on it will stop the time for a few moments. A block with an apple on it will knock off some of the sums you have to make (so you’ll have to make fewer of them). This game has a pretty amazing calculator trophy, so see if you can win it!
Roberta’s Baby…?
This has got to be the greatest moment of my life! I just left the hospital after meeting my brand new baby brother! I’m kind of shocked. I really thought it was going to be a girl, but it is a tiny perfect boy bunny named Reid. He is absolutely the most precious thing I have ever seen! My mom is doing fine, other than being really, really tired. When I got to the hospital they were both sleeping in the bed. I didn’t want to wake them but then Reid opened his little eyes and looked right at me! It was almost as if he knew I was his sister. When he started to fuss a bit, my mom woke up and she was so happy to see me. She asked if I wanted to give Reid his bottle. Um… YES! He is so tiny and delicate. I held him and when I put the bottle in his mouth he stared into my eyes as he fed. His puffy little cheeks went in and out as he sucked. Oh, he really is the most perfect thing! I have a baby brother! I have a baby brother!
Postcard to Nibbles
Dear Nibbles, I’m writing to you from frosty Northern Webkinz World! It’s always chilly up here, even in the summertime. Just because there’s snow and ice everywhere doesn’t mean there’s not much to do – just the opposite! We’ve been skating and skiing and snowshoeing. The other night, Charles and I were lucky enough to go to an art show put on by Blake E. Behr (Fluffington’s favorite artist). It was exquisite! The ice sculptures were simply stunning. I hope you’re enjoying the warm summer in Kinzville. To be honest, I can’t wait until we head south again – although I love the scenery up here, it’s just a bit too cold for this hippo! Love, Plumpy
Ella Interviews Fred Rover
Ella McWoof: Today I have the pleasure of interviewing your favorite events-caster and mine, Fred Rover! Due to popular demand, we’re here to learn more about Fred! Fred Rover: I’m delighted to be here, Ella. Just delighted. EM: Wonderful! Well, Fred, as you may have heard, the fans wanted to know all about you. FR: I’m hardly surprised, Ella. I’m a very interesting individual, if I do say so myself. And I do! EM: So Fred, we know you’re the events-caster at the Webkinz Stadium. What’s the best part and the worst part of your job? FR: The worst part (for me, anyway) is when events drag on for a long time. I have to wait to start talking again. Sometimes waiting is downright painful! The best part? Watching myself in reruns, of course! EM: What made you interested in being an events-caster? FR: Well, when I was a young pup, I had trouble with losing. I wanted to win EVERY event or sport I entered. I realized, though, that winning isn’t everything. It’s important just to play for the fun of it. I decided to take that message and share it … Read more
Roberta’s Mom goes to Hospital!
Oh. Wow. Okay, this is big – really big! This morning I was helping my mom do the breakfast dishes when suddenly she made a funny little squeal and put her hand on her tummy. I asked if she was okay and she just told me to go get my dad. I ran to get him and when I came back she said “Robert, I think it’s time.” It’s time! It’s time!!! My mom already had her suitcase packed so I ran upstairs and got it while my dad helped my mother out to the car. Luckily Cowabelle’s house is on the way to the hospital so my dad called Ms. Cowoline to let her know what was happening and they dropped me off on the way. My mom didn’t say too much – she just kept making these weird breathing noises. Now they’re gone. I feel sad that they are gone but really excited too. I know my whole life is about to be turned upside down!
August is all about the Peridot Dog!
You may find this Pet and many more at both Ganz and Webkinz eStores!
Postcard from the Tour Bus
Hey Hail! Ugh! Life on the tour bus isn’t exactly what I had imagined. Remember I told you about that amazing chef we had travelling with us who will make me whatever I want? Well, it’s not much good having your own personal chef when you just feel nauseous the whole time. Remember when we were younger and we used to go on car trips with Mom and Dad and I always felt carsick? Apparently nothing’s changed much since then. I spend the whole time we’re travelling either sitting by an open window trying to get fresh air or lying on my bunk trying to sleep. Last night after our practice (which went pretty well aside from the fact that singing and dancing doesn’t exactly help my queasiness) Dacey stopped by my dressing room to wish me luck on the tour. I guess I was looking pretty green because she asked what was wrong. When I told her she offered me this bracelet that is supposed to help with motion sickness. She says that she uses them all the time because she has to travel around so much for work. I don’t know if it will help but at this … Read more
