Sadie is on her way to deliver an elephant to her Great-Aunt Josephine, who lives completely alone and can really use the company.She tries everything from mailing the elephant to boarding a plane, a train, and an alligator to get to her aunt's home. Along the way she meets an array of interesting characters, including an odd postal worker and a gang of bandit monkeys, who all help her get where she is going.This eccentric and hilarious story from Philip C. Stead, the author of the Caldecott-winning A Sick Day for Amos McGee and illustrator Matthew Cordell will surprise and entertain from beginning to end.This title has Common Core connections.

@Avanders your #coffeebeanbookclub is on its way!
@BookwormAHN your #whodunnitthesequel is on its way!
@Elle_Skeldon your #steampunkgoespostal is on its way!

All packages should arrive on Thursday, April 12. Sorry for the delays.

ElleSkel No worries sweets!! How‘s the fur baby doing?? 6y
Mollyanna We‘re still trying to get her better. She was at the vet all day yesterday and is going back today. Hopefully this will be it. Thank you so much for asking. 😇 6y
Avanders Yay can't wait! Hope the vet visit went well!! Also.. Issues w PO .. and nothing was held today.. did you get a tracking number? If so, could you check to make sure it wasn't sent back? It shouldn't be but apparently the prior owner and the mail carrier had a bit of a ... bad relationship. 😬 6y

Mollyanna @Avanders I did get a tracking number but don‘t have it with me. I won‘t have access to it until Monday. If you haven‘t gotten the by then I can check. Bad Relationship?!? Sounds like a good/interesting story 😉. Hopefully you‘ll get it tomorrow. Let me know. Vet visit went well and she is definitely on the mend finally. Thanks for asking. 6y
Mollyanna @Elle_Skeldon Just wanted let you know that I had to go out of town and won‘t be able to open your steampunk package until Monday. I debated bringing it with me, but am not sure how much free time I‘ll have this weekend. 6y
ElleSkel @Mollyanna no worries sweets! I wish had known I would have opened early with you! Do you want me to wait for you? I will if you like 😁 6y
ElleSkel Oh and my package arrived today! It smells good through the box. Lol 😆 @Mollyanna 6y
ElleSkel Ok I‘m sorry I can‘t wait! I think I smell coffee!!! ☕️ 6y
Mollyanna @Elle_Skeldon Don‘t wait! Open your package, and I hope you enjoy! 😋 6y

Axton's #jryulebookswap package arrived today all the way from Australia! @MrsMalaprop the package came quite damaged so I hope nothing is missing.

@litmuggle the date to open these is December 22nd, right? I may have to hide it so he can wait that long 🙃

MrsMalaprop Oh no! Supposed to be a 'tough bag'! I put everything inside 2 large ziplock bags, so as long as they are intact then everything should be there. There is nothing fragile in there. You might want to take a peek before you hide it 😉🎁👏. And sorry there's no wrapping to speak of; I figured that at least would get damaged. Hope he enjoys it when the time comes 😊🎄🎅. 6y
MeganAnn @MrsMalaprop no worries! I'll open it up and double check those ziplock bags after he goes to bed tonight to make sure they are intact. Smart idea to use ziplock bags like that! 👏🏻🎄 we are waiting for the last of ours to arrive in the mail and then I'll be shipping it off as soon as they do 📦🎁 6y
MeganAnn @MrsMalaprop I'm pleased to report that both ziplock bags are intact! Thank you for everything! I know he's going to love it 😊 (edited) 6y
MrsMalaprop Oh I‘m so glad 👏👏😊. 6y

I thought I'd walk up and check the mail while I listened to this audiobook, and I was surprised and delighted with a special delivery from @LibrarianRyan !! It must be my prize from #monstermadness2017! What a lovely surprise in my day. ❤️❤️❤️ THANK YOU
(Also, I'm obsessed with your address stamp! Where did you get it?)

Cinfhen Oh, that stamp is 🙌🏻💜🎉💘 @LibrarianRyan 6y
Natasha.C.Barnes @Cinfhen Yeah, I'm so into it. I want a Litsy-Specific address stamp! (Though she could be using "Librarian Ryan" in many different ways) 6y

Cinfhen It's still awesome, even without her Litsy name ‼️‼️ 6y
Natasha.C.Barnes @Cinfhen Haha, yeah! I wrote about liking it before I even realized it had her handle! 6y
LibrarianRyan It's from Paper source. It has different plates and I change it out for what I'm doing. And yes I use Librarian Ryan a few places and with a lot of the kids I work with. When I had to have a stamp made for the new house I had 2 made. @Natasha.C.Barnes @Cinfhen 6y
Natasha.C.Barnes @LibrarianRyan That is awesome, thanks for the info! 6y
