I Spy Nursery Tales?

I read the children’s book called, ‘Each Peach Pear Plum,’ yesterday.

This children’s book was written and illustrated by Janet and Allan Ahlberg.

It’s a beautifully illustrated picture book.

It’s an “I Spy,” type of book that encourages young children to interact and find the famous characters from fairy and nursery tale books within its pictures.

It’s a delightful book that I’d recommend reading with young children, they will thoroughly enjoy it.

One thing; don’t expect fruit throughout the book like the book title suggests. I thought I’d mention it so you don’t get too disappointed.

Why not read it now or watch it on YouTube and tell me what you think?

A Sink Holed Earth?

Our planet is beginning to look pockmarked as more sink holes spring up everywhere.

If we’re unable to prevent them from happening, and they continue to appear unexpectedly under your feet, house or horizon, then I see a problem.

If they continue to appear at a steady pace I believe they’ll eventually link together and become one huge hole on the surface of our planet.

And if that happens the seas and fresh water across the world will come together and spill into that huge great hole and become Earth’s new sea; but then what happens to us?

Would there be any human survivors, and if so, will we be able to live on the outer rim of this great hole without fresh water? I think not.

Maybe it’s time we started planning for such an event before it’s too late.

To protect the future of our grandchildren’s children and their children etc, etc.

I’m not a fear monger but could mankind be extinct by the end of the 21^st century?

Or you could just ignore this post and do what we’re used to doing and that’s – “Absolutely Nothing!”

Can Pigeon’s Drive?

I read the children’s book called, ‘Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus,’ the other day.

This children’s book was written and illustrated by Mo Willems.

It’s a comical story book about a bus driver who leaves his bus in the hands of the reader. He also gives the reader a warning.

“Don’t let the pigeon drive the bus!”

Once the bus driver’s out of sight, the pigeon flies down and tries to persuade the reader into letting it drive the bus.

It’s a great story I’d recommend reading with young children.

Although it’s witty and the children will love it, I do agree with the bus driver.

As I wouldn’t let the pigeon ride in my car let alone drive a bus, just think of all the mess it would make!

So if you haven’t already read the book, then why not watch it on YouTube and tell me what you think?

Why Is Earth Eroding?

With Sinkholes appearing all over the place it’s like our planet’s being slowly eaten away.

But is it natural, or is something more sinister at work here?

Is it possible that an alien organism was carried to our planet by a meteorite, or even bought to Earth on one of our own space craft’s?

Think about it for a second; something so minute that could easily be blown off by Earth’s wind into the sand or soil; so accustomed to barren worlds it found ours very comfy indeed.

Maybe when it burrowed its way underground it found the limestone or soil agreeable to its digestive system, and its been eating the planet from within ever since.

And if that’s the case all these sinkholes you see popping up all over the place must have a few humongous creatures living inside of them.

But that’s only my opinion, who knows what eats or lives in them. I don’t do you?

Is There A Shark In Your Park?

I read the children’s book called, ‘Shark in the Park,’ one afternoon.

This book was written and illustrated by Nick Sharratt.

It’s a comical rhyming story about a boy called Timothy Pope and what he views through his new telescope.

At the park each time Timothy Pope looks through his new telescope he thinks he spots a shark, and cries out, ‘There’s a shark in the park!’

When his dad comes to collect him, he reassures Timothy that there are no sharks in the park and they leave to go home; but are they sure, are there really no sharks in the park?

This is a wonderful rhyming story with great illustrations, that I’d recommend reading with young children.

My final thought’s on this book is that it’s a great story for young children, colourful and fun.

And remember; look out for Sharks in parks!

So read it now or watch it on YouTube and tell me if you think Timothy Pope saw a Shark in the Park?

Could A Building Be A Rocket?

The question is, “Could a building be a rocket?”

Is it possible for a building shaped like a rocket or space craft to go into space?

When travelling through the City of London, the most eye catching building to me is 30 St Mary Axe, nicknamed, ‘The Gherkin.’

However if you look at the mysterious structure from a distance it looks very much like a rocket!

Is it possible that it’s really a space rocket in disguise?

As new futuristic buildings appear around the world shaped like rockets, space ships and crafts, are these based on seized alien space crafts that have crashed to Earth?

And if our planet was on the eve of destruction would these unusual structures blast into space and leave us behind?

When your next on a journey to your own town or city, just take a look around to see if you have some unusual rocket or space craft structure, because you never know the real thing could be in plain sight!

Are Owls Vulnerable?

I read the children’s book called, ‘Owl Babies,’ the other day.

This book was written by Martin Waddell, and illustrated by Patrick Benson.

It’s a delightful story about three baby Owls.

When the three baby Owls awake at night and find their mummy gone all they can do is wait, and wonder what had happened to her?

Eventually she returns to the nest, greeted happily by the waiting trio.

This is a wonderful story with great illustrations, that I’d recommend reading to young children.

My final thought’s on this book is that it’s a lovely story of Owl vulnerability that has a happy ending; although it does reflect many young children’s lives today, for example, leaving a parent for their first day of pre-school and entering unknown territory; being left at an unfamiliar building with teachers, and having to make friends.

It’s quite a lot for an adult when starting a new job; so think about how a small child must feel when starting pre-school?

So read it now or watch it on YouTube and tell me what you think?

Are Alien Space Crafts On Earth?

The question is, “Are alien space crafts on Earth?”

Do you think aliens are on Earth?

If yes, then where could they possibly hide their space craft?

It makes sense to park their space craft in a forest, behind or amongst mountains, in the desert, lake, and ocean or even in a dormant volcano; I’d say at least anywhere the general public can’t see them so they can come and go as they please without scaring us.

But if this is truly the case, how’d they travel into the small towns or cities afterwards, they’d need to have other means of transportation, and probably human assistance?

Or could it be they park their space crafts in plain sight, camouflaged and invisible to the naked eye; hidden on top of skyscrapers or other tall buildings within our cities!

However it’s possible that a whole city could lay hidden and invisible that none of us are aware of; but then what happens when we find out the truth?

Mr Gumpy’s Outing?

I read the children’s book called, ‘Mr Gumpy’s Outing,’ the other day.

This book was written and illustrated by John Burningham.

It’s a lovely children’s story about Mr Gumpy’s outing on a boat; however when the wildlife wants to come too, it doesn’t go as expected ending up with them all in the river!

This is a wonderful book with great illustrations that show how animals react to one another when in close proximity; especially on a boat.

My final thought’s on this book is that it’s a great story to read to young children they’d love it, and remember if you’re planning a boat trip, don’t take the wildlife!

So read it now or watch it on YouTube and tell me what you think?
