The Adventures of

Stripe

the Well-Travelled Bug.

 I'm Stripe!

Hi! My name is Stripe. You can see why.

I live in England. Well, most of the time, anyway. I travel a lot; I've had many adventures and have visited far and exotic places. And I haven't stopped! I go on trips all the time. It's a really big world out there, and I'm only a small bug!

I have lots of photos from my adventures. Would you like to see them?

You might also want to read a word from my people...

I arrive at my home

OK. Here's my story. A boy called Eric has a ladybird (ladybug) he likes a lot. Her name is Polka Dot. One day, Eric's mommy asked Eric what he thought they should send Aunt Lisa for her birthday. Well, he couldn't imagine what anyone could possibly want more than their very own Polka Dot, and he said so. Eric's mommy saw the wisdom of this, and she came and found me at a shop in Maine. (That's where I lived then.) She put me in a box and wrapped me and sent me to Aunt Lisa in England. I knew it was a really long way, across the ocean and everything, but I wasn't afraid. I brought lots of little bug-sized books to read during the trip. Also I took some naps.
Opening the box Opening the box (65 KB). Anyway, that's me in the box. Aunt Lisa is on the phone with Eric while she opens the box where I'm waiting (but she doesn't know I'm there yet). Gosh, Aunt Lisa needs a haircut.
Hello! Hello! (58 KB). Wheee! I'm out of the box now, and I'm meeting Aunt Lisa and Uncle Mike for the first time. We're going to have lots of fun, I'm sure of it!
