The Bravest Fish?


I read the children’s book called, ‘The Bravest Fish.' 

Written and illustrated by Matt Buckingham.

This is a delightful colourful children’s picture book about a little fish called Stanley and his adventure to find his friends.

When Stanley woke up late one morning, he finds his school had left him behind as they swam to cooler waters.

As Stanley searched for his friends he comes across a huge shark with big teeth looking for a meal!

Quickly he swims down to the bottom of the ocean and hides in a cave. Stanley knows he’ll have to come out at some point if he wants to find his friends.

So, what do you think Stanley should do?

To find out what happens next why not read the book or watch the story on YouTube

then you can tell me what you think?

A lovely children’s picture book that tells of bravery and friendship, your children will like it.

If Earth Evolves, Can We Adapt?


The question is, “If Earth Evolves, Can We Adapt?”

It’s said that we are in the midst of climate change. We’ve all experienced unusual weather patterns at some point in our life.
On some occasions in the UK, we’ve experienced a few different seasons in one day; from sun, followed by rain then sleet or snow. Some countries suffer extreme weather conditions, flooding, drought, tornados.

So, is climate change really causing this extreme weather or is our planet evolving?

With the Moon moving away from us by four centimetres each year and the Earth’s rotation slowing down, what will happen next?
Nobody knows, but one thing’s for sure humans are great with adapting to any given situation.

So, with that in mind could humans evolve?

I believe so as our survival instinct is strong, it’s just that we haven’t had to use it yet. But hey, that’s just my opinion, what do you think?

Why Did The Crayons Quit?


I read the children’s book called, ‘The Day the Crayons Quit.’

This children’s book was written by Drew Daywalt and illustrated by Oliver Jeffers.

It’s a brilliant children’s picture book telling the tale about a box of crayons.

Now you might find a tale about a box of crayons boring, but no, it’s very amusing but also truthful.

The story begins when Duncan finds some letters with his name on them.

Once opened, he finds that the different colored crayons have all written notes complaining about each other and also on how he’d used them in his sketches and they were not happy at all.

It’s a great book for children, very creative.

So, if you want to know what was written in the letters or what Duncan did next to make the crayons happy you’ll have to read the book or watch the story on YouTube, you won’t be disappointed.

It’s a great children’s picture book, the children will love it, so take a peep and let me know what you think.

Does Space Plankton Exist?


The question is, “Does Space Plankton Exist?”
Our seas are magnificent and so is the universe.
Although we sail in ships and dive to the bottom of our oceans in submarines there’s still plenty of ocean surface that lays undiscovered.
Under a microscope sea water brings many surprises with unusual looking plants and animals. Some are known to us whilst there are some that are not. Either way we call them Plankton.
Now with this in mind although there’s still much more to discover under the oceans humans don’t want to pursue it. Their interest appears to be more focused on space and I don’t mean an empty space but the universe type space.
Now this is only my opinion, but isn’t it possible that there are invisible lifeforms that are similar to plankton that swim continuously within the darkness of space in-between the planets?
Basically, ‘Space Plankton,’ for I believe that something lives there it’s just that we don’t know it yet.
It’s been proven here on Earth that creatures can survive in extreme weather so why should space be any different.
But hey I’m no scientist it’s just my theory, what do you think?

Do Dragons Love Tacos


I read the children’s book called, ‘Dragons Love Tacos.’
This children’s picture book was written by Adam Rubin and Illustrated by Daniel Salmieri

It’s a delightful children’s picture book about dragons and tacos.

In the book, the narrator describes to a kid why dragons like tacos and why they don’t like spicy hot salsa.

When the kid throws a taco party for the dragons he buries the spicy hot salsa in the back yard so the dragons can’t find it. However, he didn’t read the small print on the jar of totally mild salsa, which read ‘Now with Jalapeno peppers.’

Oh no, what do you think will happen now?

Well I’m not going to ruin the story, to find out what happens in the end why not read the book or watch the story on YouTube, then you can tell me what you think.

Are Sea Cucumbers Clones?


The question is, “Are Sea Cucumber’s clones?”

I don’t know if you know this but a sea cucumber is a scavenger that eats algae and waste particles and can grow up to three feet long.

If you cut one in half it becomes two separate sea cucumbers.

The more pieces you cut out of a sea cucumber, the more individual live sea cucumbers are created.

So, with this in mind is it possible that they were all cloned from the first ever sea cucumber?

Interesting ah?

I read that they can be eaten in a soup, in a stew or even stuffed with meat, however I’ve never tried one and I’m not likely too either.

These amazing creatures are doing a great job keeping the algae levels down and their regeneration skills are basically out of this world, literally.

For all we know this creature could have come from another planet bought to Earth on the back of a meteorite that crashed landed into our ocean.

Buy hey, what do I know I’m not a marine biologist, what do you think?
