Meet Mrs Whitterkins, The Mayor’s Wife | Alexis Tapp

Here’s Mrs Whitterkins, all dressed up for an important meeting. You can meet Mrs Whitterkins for the first time in ‘Jimba Jackobean and the Bouncer Bangerrings’, the first of my childrens story books in the JackoWhisp series.

Mrs Whitterkins lives with her husband, the Mayor of JackoWhisp Village, at number 1 Whippoorwill Avenue in a very posh house with beautiful wrought iron gates. (Did you discover the answer to the question about wrought iron gates in my last post about the JackoWhisp Series?)

When you meet Hilda Whitterkins for the first time, she is outside in the middle of the night in her nightgown, asking her husband, “Is it an earthquake?”

Her husband, the mayor trembled as he answered, “Could be, but there’s never been an earthquake in JackoWhisp before.”

I won’t spoil the surprise by telling you what it really was, but I will tell you something else about Hilda Whitterkins… she keeps cluckets in a pen in her back yard, and you will meet the cluckets in the third book of the JackoWhisp series of kids story books, ‘Melody Whisper and the Golden Clucket’.

Some quick activities for you:

1. Use your imagination to guess what cluckets might be. Type your answer in the comments box below.
2. Where might Mrs Whitterkins be going all dressed up?
3. Draw Hilda Whitterkins outside at night in her nightgown.

Say hello to Bobber Bangerring

This Bouncer Bangerring is a friend of Jimba Jackobean, the main character of my first book, ‘Jimba Jackobean and the Bouncer Bangerrings‘ in the Jackowhisp Series.

Remember that I told you that Jimba was a very noisy Jack-o-Whisper who lives in a village of very quiet Jack-o-Whispers?

Well, when you read the Jimba Jackobean book you will meet the Bouncer-Bangerrings. Jimba loves them because they are big and loud and loads of fun.

Jimba visits them often and tries to bounce with them. They love bouncing; in fact they prefer bouncing to walking any day.

The Bouncer-Bangerrings live in Bangerring Mountain and it’s just the right place for them because it is big and has plenty of room for bouncing!

Why do you think Bobber Bangerring finds it fun and easy to bounce? Share your answer with other kids in the comments box below. Here’s little hint for you … it has something to do with his shape
