Flipper & Dipper in the Royal Wedding
Wendy S. Morton
Will it be a royal wedding or a royal ruckus? It was supposed to be a wedding for the ages — one to be written about in the society pages! But a problem arose that could turn family into foes, and could only be solved by the savviest of sages. Join us on a journey to the land of pizza and pasta, where you’ll meet a prince and princess-to-be who are a bit of a mismatch. It’s love at first sight, but their families don’t see things quite the same. He isn’t good enough for her, and she certainly isn’t good enough for the royal family. What’s supposed to be the “big day” turns into a big deal. Guest poodles Flipper and Dipper, however, have an idea! But will their solution be good enough for Queen Angel Hair? And will the bride’s family think it’s fair? No one knows for sure, but at least there’s a chance — and maybe these clever canines can save a romance! This book is still in need of a nonprofit partner.
