Create Hope Inspire blog interviewed me about Rescue on Nim's Island this week.
Her two young sons also had some great questions! Here are a couple:
Have you ever ridden on a sea lion?
What does a sea lion's fur feel like?
Wendy sent this gorgeous photo in answer to these rather funny questions!
Flip-
Was the cake actually poisoned? What with?
It was actually poisoned. They used juice from rhubarb leaves, because that makes you very sick but probably wouldn't kill you.
Why was there a passage where Tiffany's foot got stuck?
Why was the hole joined to the bat's cave?
All the passages, tunnels and caves were formed in the mountain by water dripping or running through the limestone rock, and gradually dissolving it, so that bigger passages, tunnels and caves were formed. Of course this took many thousands of years! Also, any small earthquakes or rumbling through the mountain when the volcano erupted made new faults and cracks, so the water dripped down those and continued to erode the new holes in the tunnel or passage.
Some interesting animal stories of late that beg a trip to the public library:
- Silent Knight, a blinded California Sea Lion, was brought to his new home at San Francisco Zoo on May 6, with buddy Henry, also blind. Silent Knight was shot in the head with buckshot and found at Swede’s Beach in Sausalito during the Christmas Season. Silent Knight is seven feet long and weighs 350 pounds. Henry and Silent Knight seem happy in their new environment (mercurynews.com). Check out Sea Lions by Caroline Arnold.
- San Francisco Zoo will be getting a Siberian Tiger from the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha, Nebraska in June. Martha, this 9½ year old female, will be the first Siberian at the Zoo since the fatal attack in December 2007. Zoo Director Tanya Peterson says the Doorly Zoo “has made a decision to start paring down their (big cat) collection.” Martha will live in the tiger exhibit with walls 22 feet high (sfgate).

- Underground for 13 years, cicadas have emerged in the states of Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia. They are big, loud, and in your face but other than that, cicadas are harmless according to Belmont University entomologist Steve Murphree, also a member of the Tennessee Entomological Society (The Tennessean).
