A. Blob Slime Cake- Happy Bookiversary A. Blob on a Bus!

​It's hard to believe it has been one year since author L.A. Kefalos published A. Blob on a Bus, the second book in her 3-book series following the slimy, purple bully, A. Blob. In that year, we've been able to share the message of the series with hundreds of young readers. 

In the series' first installment, This is A. Blob, we learn that A. Blob may be a bully, but there just might be something more beneath the surface. In the follow-up book, A. Blob is back to its bullying ways--until one brave girl takes a stand! In A. Blob on a Bus, readers learn that one small voice can make a BIG change! The ending leaves us wondering: just what IS under A. Blob's purple slime, and will an upstander's actions cause A. Blob to abandon its bullying ways for good?

A. Blob on a Bus empowers children to take a stand for what is right and displays the power of kindness in bringing bullying to an end. ​

​A book with such an important message deserves an amazing birthday party--and that means CAKE! Slime cake, of course. If you want to make your own A. Blob slime cake to celebrate A. Blob on Bus's one year anniversary, keep reading!

​A. Blob is back, and this time it's on a bus! As the slimy bully pokes and pesters the children of Lincoln Elementary School, it seems like they will never be able to ride the bus in peace. That is, until one brave girl takes stand. 

Can one act of bravery change everything--including A. Blob? Find out in this second installment of The Blob Series!

​Before it was on a bus, A. Blob was on the playground. This first installment of The Blob Series follows the antics of A. Blob, as it wreaks havoc on the elementary school playground with its bullying ways. As the story progresses, however, readers learn that A. Blob may have more than meets the eye.

Along with its powerful illustrations and rhymed verse for early readers, this story invites children to put themselves in the shoes of another and encourages readers to consider why bullies behave the way they do – and start to consider what can be done to help.
