When You Were a FlyEXCERPTProfessor Heckler came into the ring and announced, "Ladies! And! Gentlemen! Welcome to Professor Heckler's World Famous Flea Circus!" and everyone clapped.Then the fleas came out and started performing.One flea pulled the cart. Another flea moved the little ball. Another flea walked along the piece of string. The people could see the cart move two millimetres, and they saw the ball move about half a centimetre, and they couldn't even see the tiny flea walking along the piece of string."What a terrible show!" shouted someone in the audience."Bor-ing!" shouted someone else."What. A load. Of rubbish!" chanted the audience. "Give. Us back. Our money!"Professor Heckler didn't know what to do. He looked very sad.You felt sorry for him, so you jumped out of his pocket and into the ring. You went up to that ball and you didn't just kick it – you smashed it into the back of a football net. Then you grabbed that cart and pulled it around the ring so fast you set a new flea world speed record. Then you jumped on that rope and walked along it while juggling seventeen skittles and balancing a lion on your nose!The audience went wild, screaming and shouting and applauding like crazy. Professor Heckler looked really happy.SCROLL UP AND GRAB A COPY TODAY!

Treat your child to another week of Bedtime Stories!A follow-up to the highly praised A Month of Bedtime Stories, this collection of funny bedtime tales contains a further seven short stories in the series. Each story takes about ten minutes to read and places your child at the center of each adventure with heavy doses of wacky humor which can be enjoyed by parent and child alike. Note: These bedtime tales are written in the second person. If you don't know what that means, "look inside" - you'll get the picture. They are intended to be read aloud by parents to children, rather than read by children themselves. Some of the parts will go over your child's head - don't worry, those are the parts aimed at you so that hopefully you'll enjoy reading them as much as kids will enjoy hearing them.Please also note:One of the stories (The Duckling of Doom) contains the word 'sexy'. Here in the UK, 'sexy' is not generally regarded as a rude word and can be used to simply mean nice (eg. a sexy camera, a sexy sports car, a sexy mathematical formula). If in your culture you feel that hearing this word might traumatize your children, please feel free to substitute another word in its place.BOOK CONTENTS (69 pages):1. Superbunny2.
