E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY STEVEN SPIELBERG CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE ABOUT THE FILM E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial is a heartwarming science fiction film directed by Steven Spielberg. It follows Elliott, a young boy who befriends an alien, E.T., stranded on Earth. As Elliott and his siblings hide E.T. from their mother and government agents, the bond between them grows stronger. The film explores themes of friendship, empathy, and the innocence of childhood. Spielberg emphasizes emotional connections and the sense of wonder through the eyes of children, creating a powerful narrative about understanding, compassion, and the desire to help others, regardless of their origins. The movie balances adventure with deep emotional moments. TRIVIA SAMPLES: “A 2'10" tall stuntman performed most of the full-body puppetry for E.T. However, the kitchen scenes were filmed using a 12-year-old boy who was born without legs but was an expert at walking on his hands.” “To help audiences connect more deeply with the child protagonist, Steven Spielberg shot much of the film from a child's eye level, aligning the camera perspective with that of Elliott and E.T.” “The Halloween scene where E.T. sees a child in a Yoda costume suggests that they come from the same galaxy. Interestingly, the Star Wars universe also references E.T. when E.T.'s species appears in the Senate scene of Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace.”Show book
Spid, Bid and Herman have been away on holiday. But when they get home again, they discover something rather sinister – they seem to have brought back more than just their luggage.This audiobook features two songs: 'I love to wash my hands' and 'Celebrate'. You can also find three more songs linked to the book and music videos of the songs at https://spidthespider.com and https://www.youtube.com/spidthespider. Spid is a lowly spider, who wants to better himself, write songs, and marry his girlfriend Bid, though he is prone to hilarious mishaps mostly of his own making. He is hard-working, cool, and a role model for young children. As well as encouraging children to read and love books, Spid's adventures also teach valuable life lessons, including determination and what psychologists call a 'growth mindset' (desire to better oneself and succeed), the importance of friendship, and sustainability. With very creative prose, Spid's adventures are fun for parents, and teachers to read to, and with, their children. They present lots of opportunities to invest dramatic licence thus helping adults and children interact and engage. The humour works at multiple levels from silly and slapstick to more sophisticated wordplay and concepts. Thus, children will discover more and enjoy reading the stories multiple times.

In 1985, Mark Bryan heard Darius Rucker singing in a dorm shower at the University of South Carolina and asked him to form a band. For the next eight years, Hootie & the Blowfish—completed by bassist Dean Felber and drummer Soni Sonefeld—played every frat house, roadhouse, and rock club in the mid-Atlantic and Southeast, becoming one of the biggest independent acts in the region. In Only Wanna Be with You, Tim Sommer, the ultimate insider who signed Hootie to Atlantic Records, pulls back the curtain on a band that defied record-industry odds to break into the mainstream by playing hacky sack music in the age of grunge. He chronicles the band's indie days; the chart-topping success—and near-cancelation—of their major-label debut, cracked rear view; the year of Hootie (1995) when the album reached no. 1, the "Only Wanna Be with You" music video collaboration with ESPN's SportsCenter became a sensation, and the band inspired a plotline on the TV show Friends; the lean years from the late 1990s through the early 2000s; Darius Rucker's history-making rise in country music; and one of the most remarkable comeback stories of the century. Featuring extensive new interviews with the band members, some of their most famous fans, and stories from the recording studio, tour bus, and golf course, this book is a must-listen for Hootie lovers and music buffs.Show book
