That Mushy Stuff

Pee Wee Scouts #8

by Judy Delton

Everyone knows that Roger White likes Patty Baker. Patty-cake, patty-cake, baker's man. The Pee Wee Scouts tease Roger and Patty during their Scout meeting. Mrs. Peters is their troop leader. She tells the Pee Wee Scouts how to earn badges for first aid. Then she helps them make valentines that hold messages. Secret messages. Poems. All that mushy stuff.

"I want a boyfriend," says Molly Duff. "And I want a first-aid badge."

Busy, busy, busy. The Scouts work on valentines and first aid. Molly works on a secret plan.

Uh-oh. A certain Scout better watch out!

About the author

Born on May 6th in St. Paul, Minnesota, Judy Delton lived in her hometown for most of her life. She wrote more than one hundred books for children, including the popular Pee Wee Scouts series, which sold more than seven million copies. Her writing was often compared to Beverly Cleary or Carolyn Haywood for her ability to capture the essence of childhood.

For many years, Ms. Delton taught writing classes in her home. Today, those writers are having their own books published and remember her forthright instruction and critique with appreciation. Many writers have benefited from her handbook, The 29 Most Common Writing Mistakes and How to Avoid Them.

Ms. Delton had four children and decided to quit teaching so she could stay home and raise them. Writing prolifically was her way of supporting her family. She died very suddenly of a blood infection in December of 2001. Her legions of friends and all those she taught were greatly saddened.
