Do You Like Peanut Butter And Honey?


I read the children’s book called, ‘Sticky Sticky Stuck.”

Written by Michael Gutch and illustrated by Steve Bjorkman.

This delightful children’s picture book is about a little girl called Annie.

When Annie wants a sandwich, she finds that her family are all too busy to help her so she decides on making the peanut butter and honey sandwich herself.

It started well, but as soon as she’d finished she was startled by her mum which leads to her falling and landing onto the dog.

Now she was stuck!

How is she going to become unstuck or will she remain stuck forever?

The only way to find out how Annie gets out of this sticky situation is to read the book or watch the story on YouTube then you can tell me what you think.

So, parents beware; always make your children’s sandwiches especially if they consist of peanut butter and honey, or you too may have a sticky situation on your hands.

What’s Causing The Ice Caps To Melt?


The question is, “What’s causing the ice caps to melt?”

I’ve heard that the ice caps are melting due to climate change.

Now climate change is the increase in greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane that’s in the Earth’s upper atmosphere.

Scientists claim it’s caused by burning fossil fuels and deforestation which evidently is caused by human activity. However, I believe that erupting volcanoes have also contributed to this issue.

Then there’s the visitors from out of space. Now I’m sure that their space craft emissions are also contributing to this too. Maybe someone should have a word!

“Prevention rather than cure,” is my motto.

But anyways it doesn’t matter who’s causing it. If this was as urgent as the scientists claim then why have no drastic measures been put in place.

Across the globe there should be a total ban on tree felling, the burning, of coal, wood or any other material and no more petrol or diesel vehicles. We should all be using solar powered or electric vehicles by now especially in this new age of technology.

So why are we still living in the past?

But hey I’m no scientist, what do you think?

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?
