    "The Jumping Jellybean" is a delightful and extensive nursery rhyme that brings to life a world of twenty unique jellybean characters, each with a personality inspired by their flavor. From the calm and wise Blueberry to the wild and crazy Tutti-Frutti, the jellybeans live in a magical jar, eagerly awaiting the moment a child chooses them for a treat. This selection transports them to a jellybean heaven, a place of endless parties and fun, where they celebrate and hope their flavor will be the next to bring joy to a child. When a jellybean is chosen, the child who eats it becomes filled with a corresponding bouncy and excited energy, creating a cycle of happiness for both the jellybeans and the children. 
    Accompanying the rhyme is a vibrant, square cover image that perfectly captures this excitement. It depicts a jar overflowing with colorful, happy jellybeans, surrounded by ecstatic children jumping for joy against a rainbow-colored background. The project also includes "Jumping Jellybean Disco," a disco-style song with infectious lyrics and detailed production notes. The song’s funky beat and joyful chorus are designed to get children dancing and singing along, further enhancing the energetic and happy theme of the nursery rhyme. This comprehensive package of creative content provides a multi-sensory experience of pure, unadulterated joy, celebrating the magic of childhood and the simple pleasure of a sweet treat.

    Task of Kayin by William Morrison - From out beyond the second sun he came; a fugitive from a dead and sterile world ... seeking solace, friends, a home, on Earth—a planet of even greater terrors. 
    The sensation of which he was most conscious was that of loneliness. He was no longer very much afraid, and sometimes he even thought that his enemies back home were no longer hunting for him. But in the midst of these strange creatures he learned that there was one thing worse than open hostility, and that was indifference. They had no more interest in him than they had in each other, and even though their indifference increased his own chances for safety, it was a chilling thing none the less. 
    He knew that though they were like him superficially, they were intensely different within. He stood at a street corner trying to fathom the difference, while the crowds surged about him, buffeting him from side to side. They seemed to have no idea of personal dignity. He still understood their language only imperfectly, and spoke it with difficulty, but he had learned, in a primitive way, to read their faces, and during this time of day, at least, their faces told of a strain and fear all their own, of an uncertainty even greater than his. They were going home from work, and they were afraid of countless trifles—that something unpleasant might happen, that they might not get seats on their conveyances, that bad news might greet them when they arrived. 
    He stared with fascination at a heap of newspapers spread out on the corner stand. He could guess the purpose of these layers of white sheets covered with black or red symbols, but he could not yet interpret them, and he had no idea whether any one had seen or reported his ship. It was almost certain that some one had observed a shooting star, but the chances were very much against any observation having been made of the star’s slow, dark drift to earth.
