"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.Mostra libro

Step right up for the most uproariously irreverent chapter of Gilbert Abbott A’Beckett’s Comic History of England—where crowns are comedy props and history’s biggest egos trip over their own dogma! Meet James I, the "Wisest Fool in Christendom," who preached divine right while his pet favorite, the Duke of Buckingham, turned the court into a scandalous farce. Then comes Charles I, whose stubbornness cost him his crown (and his head), thanks to a Parliament with a very sharp grievance list—and a little help from the ill-fated Earl of Stafford. Enter Oliver Cromwell, the Puritan party-pooper who banned Christmas, crushed Ireland, and somehow made republicanism duller than a Sunday sermon. But just when you think the chaos can’t get worse, in stumbles Richard Cromwell, his hapless son, who proved that ruling England was not a hereditary talent. Spoiler: The Republic collapses faster than a house of cards in a hurricane. Narrated with wicked wit by Charles Featherstone, this uproarious installment skewers the Stuarts like a royal roast—where kings are klutzes, parliaments are punchlines, and the only thing sacred is the absurdity of power.Mostra libro
