Now, the townspeople of Laurelville must join together to help solve the mystery. Some of Mrs. Belle’s favorite friends—Mr. Rivera, Kitty Belle, Magic, Fire Chief Henry, and Police Chief Jaron—come along to help Mrs. Belle in her search for her slippers.
The children’s new chant shows the love the whole town feels for Mrs. Belle. So get ready for lots of fun and a surprise ending!

Praise for Mrs. Belle

"This 3rd book is by far the most far out (pun intended) as Mrs. Belle is enlisted by the President to go into space and report back about the planet which she names Bellerina, naturally. Suffice it to say it is a very fanciful story of space travel that will prove quite entertaining for those age 4 to around ten or so."
