A Red (and Green) Letter Day!

Our Real Books are now Out There!  


We three are all SO EXCITED about our books that we all decided to write mini-blogs today. (We try not to celebrate TOO LOUDLY, because our friends Frizzy, Quizzy, Bizzy, Fizzy, and Whizzy don't have books yet.) They say they are happy for us, but we know that they are a bit jealous, too.




Dorothea Jensen (we call her Deedy) told us that people can now read our stories in both e-books and in books you can hold in your hands. (Although she is only holding TWO of our stories. She doesn't have enough hands to hold all THREE!)








My story (which is the very FIRST ONE, I might add) is called
Tizzy, the Christmas Shelf Elf.  I told Deedy all about my Big
Adventure when I was trapped in a gift and delivered to the home of two little boys, Owen and Alex.  They help me get back to the North Pole by using their imaginations (and a couple of Other Things). These kids turned out to be Deedy's grandsons. What a coincidence!!

Hooray from Tizzy!








Tizzy's story might have been first, but mine is WAY MORE INTERESTING because you can meet every one of the Izzy Elves in their own North Pole Habitat! And not ONE of them seemed to notice that TIZZY is MISSING!?!  But I did. You all know why.  If you don't, then check out Blizzy, the Worrywart Elf, and you'll find out!

Love,
Blizzy


I know that Tizzy and Blizzy think their stories 
are better than mine, but I have to say that EVERYONE
will agree that mine is the most EXCITING. BY FAR.
Read my story, Dizzy, the Stowaway Elf, and you'll be on the edge of your seats—just as I was, and two little boys, too—in SANTA's SLEIGH believe it or not! What a wild ride that was!

Cheers,
Dizzy

P.S. I just found out that Stuart and Drake (who went on the joy ride with me) are also Deedy's grandsons! What a Small World!

Love from THREE VERY EXCITED IZZY ELVES XXXOOO

Revving up at the Izzy Elves Section!


 
What exciting times for us Izzy Elves!  Deedy (that’s Dorothea Jensen to Some) has shown us a few of the sketches coming in for the two new Izzy Elves stories, Blizzy, the Worrywart Elf, and Dizzy, the Stowaway Elf.  (Blizzy is my favorite girl elf, and Dizzy my best friend.) These pix are AWE! SOME!

Blizzy looks so pretty in her story, and the poem shows how brilliant her brain is, too! Everybody else in the section kept thinking I was just enjoying my Christmas Day Off, but not Blizzy - she figured out where I was!  Thank Goodness that Owen and Alex were able to get me home again in time for the Elf Celebration! That was a really, really close one.

Dizzy is, well,  Dizzy.  He gets into some serious trouble, partly because of me, I’m afraid.  But just as two little boys rescued me in Tizzy, the Christmas Shelf Elf,  a smart little boy rescues Dizzy.  Of course, to be honest, the same little boy and his brother are the ones who get Dizzy in trouble in the first place. (After me, that is.) How was Dizzy to know that Stuart and Drake would startle the reindeer into taking off with nobody driving Santa’s sleigh except....well, you’ll find out!

My friends are all thrilled that my own story, Tizzy, the Christmas Shelf Elf, is a Real Book now.  I think they are a bit jealous, too. But I tell them that they will all have books of their own.  Eventually.  And Blizzy and Dizzy will have books by the beginning of October, in fact! Quizzy, Frizzy, Bizzy, Fizzy, and Whizzy will just have to be patient.  Elves have a hard time being patient, but that’s just the way it is!

And don’t forget that Deedy has made wonderful audiobooks of all three of the Izzy Elves stories that she has written down for us so far.

Meanwhile,  at the last Elf Celebration, we  Izzy Elves noticed that the rest of the elves don’t talk in rhyme.  We Izzies can’t seem to stop doing that.  We’re thinking of forming a support group to see if we can fix this odd little habit.  (You see, just writing that down makes me want to say something about a rabbit.)

I’ll be back to report soon!

Love,
Tizzy
