Space … the final frontier.

Man's mission? …. to listen to this ACE story and song.

 Flerbeloof, from the planet Transelminium in the Smarth nebula, looks weird. REALLY weird …. but don't judge a book by its cover.

Arthur Ant was going bananas …

or at least he was going WITH bananas on a boat.

He didn't know quite how he had got on the boat, but he was stuck with nothing to eat but squishy bananas.

Roll up, roll up and listen to Fluff, the singing dog!!

Months in training, this pooch should be

Suitable for tots, this simple story, with lots of join in repetition, is very sweet.

Gordon wanted to be rich.

One night he woke up from a dream to find that everything he touched

He WAS rich.

But then ………

The crab on the shore thought King Canute, or King Cnut as he was sometimes called, should be called King Clot !!

Who on earth would order the tide to stop coming in?

MAKE WAY FOR THE EMPEROR !!!

He might have lots of lovely expensive clothes, but he hasn't got many brains.

The Emperor falls for a scam and ends up riding around town in his underpants.

Three great songs help to tell the story.

Ruth looks after Roanna the robot. She likes to watch her work, cooking food, tidying up, mowing the grass and cleaning the car, and she likes it that they are friends. 

Spike is a friendly hedgehog. As he wanders around the farm lots of animals come up and snuffle around him … (until they see his spikes!) … and then wander off again.

Two children come near to Spike and he quickly rolls up into his prickly ball. Very gingerly, the children pick him up . After a while Spike feels a bit safer and pokes his little nose out. After saying hello, the children carefully put him down and Spike shuffles off to find some more grubs to eat.

A very positive song for 2023.

NEVER GIVE UP … never give in … you can get there.

Encouragement for children and adults.

A very positive song for 2023.

YOU'RE SO LUCKY … to be who you are and where you are … particularly poignant considering the present war in Ukraine.

A song for children and adults to think about.
