  For most folks, a trip to the circus is a pretty harmless thing to do – so long as you remain in your seats to enjoy the show. But it wouldn’t be a good idea if you were to get involved with the acts and, for example, tried to help a monkey escape or you got involved with an escaped lion that hates monkeys……And then one of your pals wanted to leave home and join the circus. If anything like that happened, well, for sure there would be big trouble under the big top! And this action-packed performance has all the thrills & spills and ooo’s & aah’s that any audience could wish for.

  Welles Crowther did not see himself as hero. He was just an ordinary kid who played sports, volunteered at his local fire department, and eventually headed off to college and then Wall Street to start a career. Throughout it all, he always kept a red bandanna in his pocket, a gift from his father. On September 11, 2001, Welles was working on the 104th floor of the South Tower of the World Trade Center when the Twin Towers were attacked. That day, Welles made a fearless choice and in doing so, saved many lives. 
   
   
   
  The survivors didn't know his name, but one of them remembered a single detail clearly: the man was wearing a red bandanna. Welles Crowther was a hero. 
   
   
   
  Award-winning ESPN reporter Tom Rinaldi brings Welles's inspirational story of selflessness and compassion to life in this accessible young readers' adaptation of his New York Times bestselling book. This powerful story of making a difference through our actions is perfect for helping the post-9/11 generation understand the meaning of this historic day through the eyes of one young man.

  The Shocking Truth about Animal...

  Animal testing has long been a cornerstone of scientific research, serving as a method to understand biological processes, test the safety and efficacy of products, and develop medical treatments. It involves the use of live animals in experiments and observational studies to explore the effects of drugs, chemicals, and other substances on biological systems. This practice, while often viewed as essential, is fraught with controversy, ethical dilemmas, and scientific scrutiny. 
  The origins of animal testing can be traced back to ancient Greece, where philosophers like Aristotle and Erasistratus conducted rudimentary experiments on animals to study anatomy and physiology. Over centuries, as medicine and technology advanced, the scope and complexity of animal testing expanded. By the 19th and 20th centuries, animal experimentation had become an institutionalized component of biomedical research, contributing to groundbreaking discoveries such as vaccines, antibiotics, and surgical techniques. 
  Today, animal testing is pervasive across multiple industries, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and chemicals. It is primarily used to evaluate the safety of products, ensure regulatory compliance, and develop new treatments for diseases. Animals such as mice, rats, rabbits, and primates are commonly employed because of their physiological similarities to humans, which researchers argue make them suitable models for studying human biology.

  Leon and the Spitting Image is about a hotel full of animals. It's about an evil ice maker. It's about glass eyeballs and human catapults. It's about really old panty hose and Possibly Fake Hair.  
  But mostly it's about Leon Zeisel and his epic quest to survive fourth grade. What's stopping him? Two things. First, there's Miss Hagmeyer. She's a supernaturally strict teacher with ears that resemble giant rotting mushrooms. And then there is Leon's archenemy, Lumpkin the Pumpkin, a human tank with a deadly dodgeball throw known to all as the sidewinder.  
  Luckily, Leon has two friends, Lily-Matisse and P.W., who will stand by him no matter what -- even if his magical, mysterious plans for rescue and revenge involve . . . SPIT!

  YOUNG BLACKBEARD THE PIRATE  
  PORT OF BRISTOL 1690 
  Book 5 of 6 – The Ghost of the Back Garden Lagoon 
  Here is the summary of the Story: 
  In 1690s Bristol, young Edward Teach (the future Blackbeard) and his crew investigate eerie splashing sounds from a rain barrel—rumoured to harbour a ghost. Armed with lanterns and nerves of steel, they stage a midnight raid, only to discover the "spectre" is a magnificent frog with luminous eyes. Edward, ever the showman, declares the amphibian their new mascot: "Captain Croaker." The crew transforms an old fish tank into a pirate lagoon, complete with miniature shipwrecks and a tiny Jolly Roger. Through this adventure, Edward demonstrates his knack for turning fear into opportunity—a skill that would later define his reign as history's most theatrical pirate. The tale blends authentic period details of Bristol's maritime culture with childhood whimsy, showing how Blackbeard's legendary leadership began with simple backyard adventures and loyal friends.  
  This is the fifth of six audiobooks in the series and I do hope you enjoy this fifth instalment, and it's only $3, all subsequent will remain at that price. 
  the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 minutes being accordion, fiddle, harmonica and bango in a classical sea shanty jig. The closing music ends the tale on a similar jig and at about 2 minutes with the same musical instruments but more upbeat looking forward to the next episode.  
  The story itself runs to about 30 minutes is narrated in my own voice.  
  I do hope you enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come!
