Coco Dogs

Bluey and Bingo did enjoy having May's chocolates with me. To them and their friends and family, chocolate isn't poison.

Chocolates & Monsters





Bluey & Bingo Are Excited...

I'm not the only one who's excited for the new Scream Street books....


Hot Chocolate Sticks

Who doesn't love dunking these little beauties into hot chocolate...AND THEN EATING THEM?!

Juno

This is Juno, a dog I met today. He was so big and fluffy, and enjoyed cuddles and bouncing right up at people. If you put on opera music, he howls along. And if he were to star in Paw Patrol, he would say, "Juno A Go Go!" Someday, he'll be a star in my stories, I just know it.

Exciting News!

Scream Street will be back in October with two new books - a Terrifying Trivia Book and a Petrifying Puzzle Book! Aren't you excited? I am, and I'm making stories out of all the facts in the trivia book!

Cocoa Babysitter

I’ve had a lovely afternoon with my babysitter, May. We’ve been to the park and played on the swings and had ice creams. Later, we went and got a seat at the sweet shop, where May wanted to tell me something very important. “Sybil, I have something really exciting to tell you.” she said. She lifted her fingers, showing a bright, shiny diamond ring. I gasped in amazement! “My boyfriend asked me, and I said yes! I’m going to be married someday!” I squealed and jumped up and down in excitement, and ran to hug May. “I didn’t know that!” I squeaked, “How did your boyfriend pluck up courage to ask you?” “He found this nifty little ring in the jewellery store. Brought it at an incredibly low price, he did.” “Wow!” I gasped. “Will you have kids?” “Of course!” said May, “And, as an extra treat, I think you deserve something wonderful. A box of chocolates for you and your friends!”


Later, I went home to my friends and mum and shared the chocolates with my friends. “Must be exciting to be proposed to.” I thought out loud. “You get all the things a married couple could’ve ever want. Diamonds, rubies, a big fancy new sports car…” “Maybe when you’re older, you can marry someone handsome,” said Cleo. “I had a boyfriend named Tutan Kutie once. He was actually Dixon.” “Eeeewww,” cried Bluey, sticking out her tongue so her mushed up chocolate showed on her tongue. “I think lovey dovey stuff is disgusting! Remember when Mum and Dad embarrassed us with gross habits?” “Really gross, I know,” I said, “But May’s co workers had other gifts too after her boyfriend proposed to her. Daniel got a new golf kit. Joseph got a soft toy lion to give to his son. And Thomas got a red dragon lamp for his bedside table.” “For young men about twenty, they must have a lot of rich things.” said Resus. “Rich as a million pound bar of gold.” I remarked. “And they get to eat as much chocolate as you want until you feel sick!” said Bingo. “Eating chocolate until you puke up a storm.” I said.


Suddenly, the phone rang, and I went to answer it. It was Frisky. “Hi, Frisky! Sybil here. I was just enjoying chocolate with my friends. Why have you rung me?” “I just called to find out if you and your friends are okay,” said Frisky, “I heard of May’s engagement.” “Yes! And May’s boyfriend proposed to her. She even gave me a box of chocolates to share with my friends.” “That’s very nice of you, but let me tell you: chocolate may be fattening, but it’s a sweet indulgence to you and your friends.” “Mmmm-mmm,” I smiled, licking my lips.
