My idea fo a kids picture book, which I will write, illustrate, write the feem toon, sing the feem toon, etc consists of a monster who leaves one morning on his bike and spots a giant floating in the sky.
They enter into a conversation, and the giant reveals he ate all the beans and filled with gas and now can't help but float in the air.
The denouement will involve the monster tying a rope from his bike to the giant's forefinger, before pedalling off at high speed, and pulling the finger in time-honoured fashion, releasing the trapped wind and allowing the giant to descend to earth.
Or something. I haven't writ the last bit.
The first bit goes like this - what do you think, is it kid's fodder?
In a house in the woods, lived a monster called Mike
Who loved nothing more than to pedal his bike.
One day as he rode. Looking up through the trees
He a saw a large giant, afloat on the breeze.
“A giant up there? I have never seen that”
Said Mike, “I’ve seen birds, or a kite or a bat”
“But never a giant up there flying around,”
“They belong on the earth, they belong on the ground!”
“Hey, you!” called the giant, “Hey you, with the teeth!”
“Can you help me get there to that place down beneath?”
“Don’t know much about giants and flying and stuff”
Said Mike “but I’ll help, if you tell me enough”.
“When I ate all the beans, I got so full of air”
That I floated right up, now I’m blown here and there”
Cried the giant, as his eyes filled with giant tears –whoosh!
They fell like huge water bombs, sploosh, sploosh, sploosh!
“Don’t cry!” shouted Mike, “or you’ll flatten the plants”
“and soak all the squirrels and drown all the ants”
....to be cont'd.
