The Animal Tea Party

Have you ever wondered what the jungle animals do when the television cameras aren’t recording their every move? They PAR-TAY!

However, unlike human parties, the animal party is very organised and polite. No boozy stuff allowed; in fact, they drink tea – but a very special tea. So join us, as we open a rarely seen window onto the jungle once the humans have gone.

Meet the king of the jungle like you have never seen him before. A crocodile and an alligator have an in-depth conversation, while a toucan is concerned that her beak is too bright. Learn about what they eat at these posh dos. A pelican makes a guest appearance under the watchful eye of a gorilla. And, oh yes, Mike the mouse squeaks!

A host of colourful characters that make you laugh and maybe cry as they pass the night away enjoying the Animal Tea-Party.

The Adventures of the Karillapig

Have you ever wondered who lives on the dark side of the Moon?

Well wonder no more as you are introduced to the one and only Karillapig.

The Karillapig lives on the dark side of the Moon and is here on Earth to

1) Investigate our strange Earthly ways, and

2) Find out how exactly Earth beings achieved space travel.

In his quest to find out how Earth beings achieved said space travel, the Karillapig causes chaos and mayhem as he mistakes several everyday objects for spaceships and wreaks havoc in the residence of Derek and Doreen Bumblebottom.

The Karillapig has snuck down to Earth behind the back of the evil, not-to-be-trusted Kired, leader of A.R.S.C—the Moon union. Kired, along with several other Moon critters, have been in the same meeting about a meeting for over 50 years, and so have not noticed the Karillapig’s absence from the Moon.

The Karillapig is not alone on Earth. Other Moon critters have followed him… This can only mean one thing; double chaos and mayhem as Earthly investigations continue…

The Adventures of Sydney and Marvin

Seagulls are much-maligned creatures. The general public regard them as a nuisance, feral delinquents and low-life scavengers, prone to being aggressive for no apparent reason. Only vultures, it seems, compete at the same social level. Yet the truth is that if you take the time to observe them, they have remarkable qualities for small birds.

They are monogamous and rarely separate from their mate. They’re great swimmers with the rare ability to drink seawater. They’re also highly intelligent, communicative, and can continue to learn new skills, retain it, and also pass them on to others.

Just watch them break open a mussel, or collectively stamp their feet in a farmer’s field to attract the worms. Farmers love them as they keep the insect population under control. Faces they can recognise too. They will eat practically anything available, acting as roaming dustmen. They are such skilled aviators they can extract the bacon from a sandwich in mid-flight.

If they attack, it is normally because people are too close to their chicks. People shouldn’t shoo them away. All that is needed is a hard stare to keep them at bay. But beware; they may use this as a decoy for another to blindside you! Large birds of prey are their only enemy.

Treated respectfully they will interact, and not just for food!

But along the way he’ll find the determination and courage he needs, meet friends and defeat foes, and by the time he gets to where he needs to be Hugo will have become Sir Hugo Bear. But he still needs to find the Right Person.
