Nibbles Hippo here, with coverage of the super-awesome cupcake competition! On this, the day before the fair, I’m going to visit all of the bakers and see how their last minute cupcake-creations are coming along. Come with me and let’s see if we can get a sneak preview of some entries! Ah, here we are at Salley’s house. Now, Salley has been VERY busy getting everything ready. This whole fair was pretty much her idea, after all! Let’s see if we can chat with her for a second. I’ll just ring her doorbell and… *Ten minutes (and several doorbell rings) later* Hm. Doesn’t seem like she’s answering. No matter! We’ll hit Cowabelle’s house. She’s just down the street, and she should be home, working hard on her cupcake. Ah! Yes! I hear her footsteps.

Nibbles Sees a Ghost!
By Salley Cat We had a bit of a mystery on our hands today, readers. Nibbles came running into school absolutely freaking out. When she was walking to school this morning she swore she saw a ghost in the trees near her house. She was shaking like a leaf. She said she couldn’t go home after school – she just couldn’t. I knew that there had to be some logical explanation. It is close to Halloween after all so I thought maybe what she thought was a real ghost was actually just somebody’s decorations. But Nibbles insisted that the ghost was flying through the trees! Freaky, huh? After school she was so scared about walking home I said I’d walk with her and we’d figure this thing out. Our walk home was completely uneventful. That is, until we got to the trees by her house. She was still really shaky when all of a sudden, she screamed and pointed.

Nibbles Catches a Cold
Ugggggh! It’s me, Nibbles. Or should I say ‘Sniffles?’ The other day on my way home, it started pouring down with rain and I had left my jacket in my locker at school. I got soaked! As soon as I got home, Plumpy ran me a hot bath and I got out of my wet clothes, but when I woke up the next morning I was all stuffed up. Now I’m lying in bed, eating chicken soup, and going through about a million tissues a day. I feel awful. My head hurts and my nose is running like a faucet. It wouldn’t be so bad, but Molly’s Pink Party is in two days! What if I’m not better by then? I told Plumpy that I was going to the party no matter what, but she said that if I’m still sick, that wouldn’t be fair to everyone else because I could pass my germs onto them. I guess she has a point, but – IT’S NOT FAIR! Oh, I really hope I’m feeling better by then. Plumpy said all I can do is drink lots of fluids and get plenty of rest. I’ve gotta go. I think I’ll … Read more
