    Poppy Green

    Poppy Green can talk to animals! Unfortunately, they never talk back to her. So she started writing in order to imagine what they might say and do when humans aren’t watching. Poppy lives on the edge of the woods in Connecticut, where her backyard is often a playground for all kinds of wildlife: birds, rabbits, squirrels, voles, skunks, deer, and the occasional wild turkey.

    A Surprise Visitor - Poppy Green

    Party Time!

    All week long, Sophie had been looking forward to Saturday.

    Now—finally—the day was here. The Mouse family was having a dinner party. Their guests would be arriving any minute!

    Sophie studied the dining table. She wanted to make sure everything was perfect.

    Oh! The place cards! Sophie said suddenly. How could I forget?

    She scurried up to her bedroom. On her drawing table were ten cards, set out to dry. Sophie had painted them by hand.

    Back downstairs, Sophie walked around the table. She smiled as she put down the first card. It read HARRIET in neat brush strokes. The I was dotted with a flower. Sophie was one of few who knew her best friend Hattie Frog’s real name.

    At another spot, Sophie put down a place card for her other best friend, Owen Snake. She had made a smiley face inside the O.

    "I’ll put my place card right between theirs," Sophie decided. She’d get to sit next to both of them!

    She knew her little brother, Winston, would want to sit near them. So Sophie put his card at the spot right across from her own. She put the place card for Hattie’s big sister, Lydie, across from Hattie.

    Finally, she placed the cards for the grown-ups: George and Lily Mouse, Mr. and Mrs. Frog, and Mrs. Snake.

    There! Sophie said. Now everything is ready.

    Good! said Winston. He was peering out the front window. Because here they come!
