Have You Ever Met A Very Cranky Bear?

I read the children’s book called, ‘The Very Cranky Bear.’

This children’s book was written and beautifully illustrated by Nick Bland.

It’s a delightful children’s picture book that tells the tale of a bear that just wants peace and quiet.

When four friends, a Zebra, Sheep, Moose and Lion take shelter from the rain inside a cave, they soon find that they’re not alone!

A cranky bear that was already inside the cave chases them away and back into the rain.

What can they do, the four friends can’t play outside on a rainy day, they need shelter too!

So, they made a plan, to cheer the bear up.

If they cheered the bear up, then he’d let them stay.

The problem was, how were they going to do it?

Will the friends succeed in making the bear happy, or will it do the reverse?

To find out, why not read the book or watch it on YouTube, then you can tell me what you think.

It’s a great book for young children that encourages being thoughtful and kind.

Have You Heard Any Unexplained Sounds?

The question is, “Have you heard any unexplained sound?”

A few times in the last few months I’ve been woken up in the early hours of the morning by an unexplained sound.

This unusual sound appears to be coming from the sky.

I can hear it outside my bedroom window. It’s a sound I’ve never heard before and something I can’t really explain.

I know it’s not a helicopter, or drone because they have a distinctive sound; you know when ones flying close-by or overhead as they’re quite noisy.

So, could this unexplained sound be caused by an alien spacecraft?

I don’t know, but one things for sure something’s happening out there, in the dead of night when we’re all supposed to be in a deep sleep!

But hey I’m no expert.

What do you think?

Ever Got A Bit Lost?

I read the children’s book called, ‘A Bit Lost.’  

This children’s book was written and illustrated by Chris Haughton.

It’s a delightful children’s picture book that tells the tale of a young baby owl.

When a young sleepy baby owl topples out of the nest it falls to the ground below.

The baby owl is lost and scared, but then a friendly squirrel comes along and helps the baby owl to find it’s mother.

The storylines very much like another children’s book I’ve read, however it’s still a lovely story that young children would like. It has a happy ending.

It’s a great book for young children that encourages caring, family and friendship.

So, why not read the book or watch it on YouTube, then you can tell me what you think.

Are Aliens Causing Vibrations?

The question is, “Are aliens causing vibrations?”

For many years, I’ve felt a vibration under my feet when just standing still.

Although only for a couple of seconds, there was no doubt in my mind that it was coming from beneath the surface of the ground and was not caused by heavy traffic.

Not only have I experienced vibrations on pavements, but even inside my home, on one of the floors of a multi-story car park and from the second floor of a hospital.

So, what’s causing these vibrations?


Or could it be a misdirected vibration, where it’s really coming from the Troposphere?

Well, whatever the cause let’s hope it’s not the vibration of a gigantic sink hole!

But hey, I’m not expert, what do you think?

Do You Like Cookies?

I read the children’s book called, ‘Mmm Cookies,’ yesterday.

This children’s book was written by Robert Munsch. Illustrated by Michael Martchenko.

It’s a delightful children’s picture book that tells the tale of a young boy named Christopher that likes to make cookies, not tasty, delicious cookies, but play clay ones.

Unfortunately, he tricks his unsuspecting parents into eating them. Not amused they warn his teacher of his antics.

At school, Christopher’s delighted to be given a cookie by his teacher.

But will it be a real tasty delicious cookie or just a play clay one?

To find out, either read the book or watch it on YouTube, then you can tell me what you think.

It’s a great book that all children will like.

Do Robotic Bee’s Exist?

The question is, “Do Robotic Bee’s Exist?”

Inspired by insects, it appears that researchers have designed a robotic bee, named ‘RoboBee.’

Not only can it fly, dive and swim but it can also launch itself out of the water.

Although the capabilities are on a tiny scale, it’s incredible that this tiny robotic insect can do these things.

What next?

Maybe the researchers could scale up and create a robotic machine the size of a jumbo jet, that could do similar things.

With robotic technology moving so fast, and with robots in high demand to aid defence, space exploration etc. I expect that this is just a small part of what’s already out there.

Now I’m not saying it’s not great what these robotic researchers can create a working being from nothing, but once these robots can think for themselves then we’re gonna be in serious trouble.

For I believe that one day, robots will lead and humans will follow.

But hey, I’m no robotics expert.

What do you think?
