Cat Snookims and Mayor Molly McMole Follow the Sun

Just when you thought I (Mayor Molly McMole) was staying in Rome, Abby takes
our whole group, including Spider Leggs and his World Wide Web and follows the Sun to
Kauai where Captain Cook explored, in honor of the English Queen, several hundred
years back.

For you future geologists who know nothing about how these islands were formed,
Ms. Strieby will set you straight.  You will meet some grey whales who are friends of
Molly in Valdez in the Gulf of Alaska named Kiki and Bubble Weeze.

Here the nefarious cat, Snookims, meets his match in a big, broad rooster,
named, Brooster.  This tale will teach as well as entertain and you will also
meet the Goddess Pele and a blue-footed booby bird.

All said, Ms. Molly goes to the extreme and tries to imitate Gloria Swanson
in the movie, Sunset Boulevard.,  She really is following the Sun, which is
the name of her 4th book, Mayor Molly McMole Follows the Sun.

Mayor Molly McMole is only $1.99 for One Week Only, Starting 4/19/17

Lorraine just offered her book, Cat Sophia and Mayor MollyMcMole,

for $1.99 on Kindle and this offer is good until April 27, 2017!

Mayor Molly,  that’s me,  starts her adventures in this book. 

I live in style down in my tunnels—onion domed castles,

a cafe. and a big problem I have to solve—Cat Sophia

visits my town and she is not a friendly cat.

Special regards, MMM

Strieby would think its mighty fine.  You can buy it on Amazon/Kindle.

Bernini and his Four Rivers Fountain in Rome, by Sandro,, The Artist Mole

Gian Bernini

Today I’m  going to start by writing about the artist that

blew me away at Rome with the four river statues

representing the Ganges, Nile, Danube, and the

 Reo de la Plata.

Hey, the Pope of the day didn’t want Bernini to do this.

He wanted another artist, but Bernini was able to

enter the jurying anonymously and the Pope

chose his entry.

We artist have to work hard, but Bernini was

a play writer and an architect, and a prudent business

man.  I loved Navona Square and went there to play

in the fountain at night and slid down the leg of

the Nile River God.  

Mayor Molly was upset with me, but I couldn’t resist.

Talk about luck and skill, Michelangelo was old and

Bernini won the job of finishing St. Peter’s and in

the process sign as the Chief Architect even though

Michelangelo did most of the work.

MAYOR MOLLY MCMOLE WILL BE IN LONG BEACH APRIL 6, 2017

Greetings from Mayor Molly McMole and Mole Sandro, Artist

Yes, I,  Mayor Molly McMole, will be in Long Beach 

on April 6, 2017!

Lorraine Strieby will read from her first book, "Cat Sophia and

Mayor Molly McMole."  Perhaps Sophia will be there

also, if she can get permission from the school.

Half way through her reading I will pose for the students

so the students can draw me and use watercolors. If they

let a mole in they surely would let a cat in, don’t you think?

Hello Out There!  I am Sandro, the Artist Mole.  You might be

interested  on how we moles can make castles under the ground.

It is simple.  The owners grew onions that are underground.

So we simply dug rectangles under the onions and chewed 

off the tops.  Moles, Fredie  and Keith, with long teeth,  shaped

the rectangles and used a recipe found on Spider Leggs' web

to make the castles permanent. beautiful, and magical

because, of course, I painted them. 

Bye for now.  Strieby will return any minute.

"Adam and Eve" by Lorraine Strieby and Sandro the Mole

This is Sandro again.  Rome and Florence inspired me and

also Strieby.  While Gus, our Omega Mole, was doing

cartwheels in the Uffizi Museum, Strieby and I were

getting a sketch of Botticelli’s Venus and then we

went out on the square and sketched Michelangelo’s

David (the fake one). These famous works of art are

only a few blocks away from each other  so it was

a perfect match for "Adam and Eve."

You can see our version in Strieby’s “All Roads 

Lead to Rome.”  A lot of artists paint their version 

Of Adam and Eve, and this is our painting. 

It took about a year, and Strieby said this is for

our collection only, but you can see an image of  our "Adam and Eve"

in Book 3, on Amazon/Kindle..

I can’t wait to write about Bernini, but I hear

her car coming.  I’ll hop in my redoubt,  under
Tunnel I-5 so she can't find me.  Bye, Sandro

ICE CASTLES AND PERMANENT SAND CASTLES BY SANDRO IN THE MAYOR MOLLY MCMOLE SERIES

My name is Sandro and live in the Mayor Molly McMole Series.

Part of the time I live in Valdez, Alaska, and work for

Vinnie the Shrew during the winter by carving ice castles.

When our whole crew visited Florence and Rome in Strieby’s

book, “All Roads Lead to Rome,” I did sketches of Medieval

architecture and couldn’t wait to work for Vinnie, a shrew who is a real

estate mole who rents out twinkling ice castles that are a joy to

see.  I am getting better at it and when we get to

Hawaii I will be in charge of building a permanent

sand castle.  Tourists love to see my work. 

Thank you, Molly, for letting me borrow Strieby’s

laptop, and thank you, Spider Leggs, for finding that

recipe  for permanent sand castles. 

You can find the story in Book 3 and 4 of Lorraine Strieby's 

The Mayor Molly McMole Series

KILAUEA JUST SPILLED LAVA ALL OVER THE PLACE, JUST LIKE A MESSY CHILD

VOLCANOES  are always erupting all over the world, however, it seems

that the volcanoes in Hawaii are always going off.  Kilauea just 

spewed lava yesterday all over the place,.  Lorraine Strieby explains to your 

child about  how shield volcanoes are formed and consequently

how Hawaii was formed.  

Even a mole like me can understand it when she puts words to

a page.  Remember, you and your child can read it on Amazon/

Kindle in her fourth book, Mayor Molly McMole Follows the

Sun.”  

Do you know the difference between  shield and Pelean volcanoes?

PELEANS  were named after the beautiful Hawaiian Goddess Pele.

They also blow their tops.  Shields are nice and smooth. 

Strieby makes PELE so beautiful and powerful holding the sun

and moon in her arms. Take a look in her new book.

Hey, Sandro wants to get into the act.  So my dear friend

will be blogging too when Strieby is away.

Got to scamper, I here Strieby coming!  BYE
