📖 Read the Story

Jessica's family was camping in sunny Tuapo! "Hooray for adventure!" she cheered, map in hand.

Dad tried to set up the tent. *Boing!* It bounced right back! Mom giggled, snapping a photo.

Suddenly, a tiny, blue fluffball rolled past. "Piffle-piffle?" it squeaked, looking lost.

"Oh my goodness!" gasped Jessica. "A walking pom-pom! Are you a lost cloud, little friend?"

Piffle nudged her hand, then pointed a tiny paw towards the woods. "Piffle-piffle-MOMMY!"

"It's lost its family!" Jessica declared. "Don't worry, Piffle! My map and I will help!"

"First, we need clues," Jessica announced. "Where did you come from, little blue buddy?"

Piffle wiggled its antennae towards a spot on the map marked "Wobbly Willow Woods." "Piffle-piffle-HOME!"

"To the Wobbly Willow Woods!" Jessica exclaimed. Dad tripped over a root, sending his hat flying.

The path was twisty-twirly. Piffle bounced ahead, then hid behind a mushroom. *Peek-a-boo!*

They reached a sparkling stream. "Oh no!" cried Jessica. "How will Piffle cross?"

Dad suddenly appeared, balancing a log. "Ta-da! My famous 'Gary's Great Bridge'!" *Splash!*

Mom, ever prepared, pulled out a rubber ducky. "Piffle, meet your new boat!"

Piffle giggled, paddling across the stream on the ducky. "Piffle-piffle-WHEE!"
