Vesta the calico cat liked life a very specific way. Quiet? Yes. Snacks? Absolutely. Naps? As many as possible. In Vesta on a Vespa: The Turtle, created by Brian Betze and Cheryl Barbagallo, readers meet one hilarious, snack-loving cat whose ordinary day turns into a wild Vespa adventure filled with runaway treats, muddy puddles, and one turtle in need of help.

🌞 A Purr-fect Day Goes Wrong

Everything in Vesta’s world was running exactly on schedule:

  • Sunshine? Check.
  • Snacks? Obviously.
  • Naps? Three successfully completed.

Then disaster struck. WHACK! One extra snack-powered smack sent her precious snack ball flying straight out the window. Just like that, Operation Snack Ball began.

🛵 Vesta on a Vespa

The runaway snack ball bounced down the hill, scattering treats everywhere like confetti. Vesta knew there was only ONE way to catch it. Her Vespa.

🐢 A Turtle in Trouble

Right in the middle of the chase, Vesta spotted something unexpected. An upside-down turtle baking in the sun. Suddenly, Vesta had a choice: Chase the snack ball OR stop and help.

For a cat who usually said “nope” to everything, this was a BIG moment.
