Penny & Jelly Slumber Under the Stars - a Literary Lunch




I have a very special literary lunch for you today! The amazing Maria Gianferrari has written another wonderful Penny & Jelly book and this time the adventure takes them outside.


Penny gets invited to a slumber under the stars event at the community center and starts to make plans on what she will need. Penny cannot wait to see the stars in the sky! But then she realizes that pets are not allowed at the sleep over and Jelly will have to stay home. Can Penny make a Jelly to bring out of cotton balls? or Recycling? Find out what Penny and jelly come up with and if they slumber under the stars that night!


We made a yummy campfire snack to match Penny & Jelly Slumber Under the Stars:
  • yummy swiss cheese stars
  • Penny & Jelly chocolate and marshmellow sandwiches with fruit snack decorations.
BUT WAIT! Are you curious to find out how Penny & Jelly solve the "no pets allowed" dilemma?
