Books in The Adventures of Mabel Gray series

What does it mean to be a friend? How do we make new friends? Can we have friends who are different from us? Mabel is a kind, wise and very patient turtle who didn't know she needed a new friend until the young Maisy shows up one day. Mabel welcomes Maisy, an adorable, anxious and funny little hedgehog, into her home and the adventure begins. The story of how Mabel the turtle makes a friend comes to life courtesy of author Karen Anikis and artist/illustrator Nathalie Fabri. All proceeds from this book go to help fund the nonprofit Kids for a Peaceful Future. Through her nonprofit, Karen works with kids of all ages to explore ways we can all be more peaceful in our daily lives.

In this book Mabel, a Baby Doll that was rescued from Salisbury Pond, takes a trip to downtown Worcester, Massachusetts. She will stop by some of the old buildings in the city, a favorite lunch spot - Coney Island - a couple statues she loved and she will stop by the spot at Salisbury Pond where she was found. This is a brief tour of the downtown Worcester area with a very simple history of each stop. It is age appropriate for 7 years and up. You can also follow Mabel on Facebook at Saving Mabel or Adventures of Mabel
