Beschreibung

"Useless Knowledge About Babies" is an engaging encyclopedia that looks at the wonder of childhood through a lens of curiosity and wonder. Designed for both new parents and those simply fascinated by the amazing facts of the baby world, this book illuminates the unique and often unexpected aspects of being a baby and a parent.

For example, did you know that newborns have an innate talent for diving and can hold their breath while underwater for up to four months after birth? Or that babies can hear sounds and even respond to music in the womb, possibly influencing their brain development?

The book also covers international cultures and traditions. In Korea, for example, a baby's 100th day of life is celebrated in a special ceremony, while in the West, a baby is more likely to be celebrated in grand style after one year. In terms of toys, there is a tradition in the Arctic where babies are made little snowmen out of real snow to play with to familiarize them with their surroundings.

And for those interested in historical facts, the book also contains a wealth of information about ancient wisdom and advice. From the belief that spicy food during pregnancy can lead to a baby with a "hot temper" to the belief that whiskey can relieve teething pain, this book covers it all.

Equally amazing are the phenomena and challenges that new mothers face after giving birth, as well as the incredible physiological and psychological changes that fathers can go through. The book also reveals some quirky baby products that have been developed over the years, from diapers with built-in alarms to pacifiers that look like celebrities.

"Useless Knowledge About Babies" is more than just a collection of facts. It's a tribute to the miracle of life and an invitation to see the world from a baby's perspective. It combines scientific findings with folk wisdom to provide a comprehensive overview of everything you may have never wanted to know about babies. A perfect gift for any occasion or just to browse and wonder!

Alice's Wonderland Adventure -...

Christopher Allen

ALICE'S WONDERLAND ADVENTURE  
Alice in Wonderland – Retold, Reimagined & Reinvented  
The summary of this audiobook is as follows: 
Seven-year-old Alice follows her younger brother William (nicknamed the White Rabbit for his obsession with time) into a hidden door in their garden hedge, tumbling into Wonderland—a surreal world where her family embodies fantastical roles. Her father is the Mad Hatter, her mother the tyrannical Queen of Hearts, and William the frantic White Rabbit. Guided by a Cheshire Cat and talking flowers, Alice navigates absurd challenges, including a chaotic croquet match with the Queen and a trial over a missing strawberry from a royal tart (secretly stolen by William to aid her escape). 
Throughout her journey, Alice learns that Wonderland is a reflection of her family’s hidden quirks: her father’s creativity flourishes as the Hatter, her mother’s strictness magnifies as the Queen, and William’s punctuality defines his rabbit persona. After outwitting the Queen’s wrath with help from the Dormouse and her brother, Alice climbs back through the rabbit hole, returning to her ordinary life—but with a strawberry and a tiny blue hat as proof her adventure was real. 
The story blends whimsy with deeper themes of identity, family dynamics, and the blurred line between reality and imagination, offering a fresh twist on the classic Alice in Wonderland tale. 
The initial opening credit music is modern, upbeat with female vocals lasting about 3 minutes with the instrumental closing music about the same jazz funk genre. 
The story and music itself runs to nearly 1 hour and is narrated by claire francis, my wife. 
I do hope you enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come
