    Acknowledgement

    To

    my

    dear

    friends,

    Joyce

    and

    Martin

    Scher,

    who,

    having

    been

    my

    ROCK

    from

    the

    beginning,

    came

    up

    with

    a

    perfect

    formula

    and

    made

    this

    book

    happen.

    It

    was

    because

    of

    them—my

    two

    Muses—that

    this

    story

    came

    to

    life,

    for

    which

    I

    will

    be

    forever

    grateful.

    1

    Right

    In

    The

    Middle

    Of

    The

    Kitchen!

    The

    day

    Penelope’s

    parents

    surprised

    Penelope

    with

    a

    two-wheel

    bicycle

    began

    like

    any

    other,

    EXCEPT

    when

    Penelope

    BOUNCED

    2

    into

    the

    kitchen

    for

    breakfast.

    There,

    waiting,

    a

    sparkling

    new

    red

    TWO-WHEELER

    with

    BRIGHT

    RED

    STREAMERS

    and

    a

    SHINY

    SILVER

    BELL!

    SURPRISE,

    cried

    her

    parents.

    Unbelieving,

    Penelope

    SHRIEKED

    in

    delight,

    jumping

    and

    dancing,

    as

    her

    parents

    watched,

    EUPHORIC!

    Breakfast

    was

    ALL

    but

    forgotten,

    as

    Penelope

    pleaded

    "DADDY,

    PUT

    ME

    ON

    THE

    SEAT,

    PUT

    ME

    ON

    THE

    SEAT!"

    Instantly,

    Penelope’s

    father

    SWOOPED

    her

    up

    and

    PLUNKED

    her

    down,

    RIGHT

    IN

    THE

    MIDDLE

    OF

    THE

    KITCHEN!

    And,

    to

    Penelope’s

    surprise,

    shouted

    "LOOK

    PENELOPE.

    LOOK

    WHAT’S

    SITTING

    ON

    THE

    TABLE.

    LOOK

    WHAT

    ELSE

    WE

    GOT

    YOU.

    A

    NEW

    RED

    HELMET."

    Whirling

    around,

    Penelope

    GASPED.

    It

    was

    the

    BRIGHTEST

    RED

    HELMET

    she

    had

    EVER

    seen,

    and

    it

    was

    sitting

    right

    there

    at

    the

    head

    of

    the

    table,

    a

    PERFECT

    match

    to

    her

    BRIGHT

    RED

    BIKE.

    OOHS,

    and

    AAHS,

    echoed

    throughout,

    while

    Penelope’s

    mother,

    appealing

    to

    Penelope

    AND

    her

    father,

    announced,

    "Breakfast

    is

    getting

    cold

    you

    two,

    and

    if

    we

    don’t
