BREAKING NEWS:
Wizard in Training Causes Slight Magical Mayhem!

Jeeter learns flying the hard way in the this rhyming tale from Scott E. Sutton

Reports are coming in from all over the Land of Ree: Jeeter the Erf has taken to the skies — or tried to — in Oh No! More Wizard Lessons!

According to eyewitnesses (mostly nervous Flying Floogies), Jeeter recently attempted his first flying lesson and may have crash-landed in a suspiciously splashy location. Sources close to the scene heard a loud "KERSPLASH!", followed by the faint sound of rhyming and regret.

But don’t worry — no one was harmed (except maybe Jeeter’s pride), and Jeeter learned something important:
“To succeed you must practice. That’s what you must do.”

This playful, full-color, rhyming picture book delivers laughter, life lessons, and just the right amount of magical chaos. Kids will relate to Jeeter’s fear of messing up — and cheer as he learns that trying, failing, and trying again is how real magic happens.

Our sources say the book contains a full story in rhyme, dazzling illustrations, and one very patient wizard named Dundee. Early reports suggest it’s ideal for bedtime, classrooms, and anyone who's ever been afraid to try something new (we're looking at you, bicycle with no training wheels).

Attack of the Giant Cheese
A Cautionary Halloween Tale by Scott E Sutton

It happened in northern Spain, I’m told
In a quaint little village that was very old.

It seems that a farmer made a mistake
By dumping his old milk into a lake.

He used the lake as his dumping ground
So he didn’t have to keep old milk around.

At first it was fine, no problem at all.
He’d just dump the old milk over the wall.

And into the lake it would slide like a blob,
Then sink to the bottom where it sat in a glob.

As the years went by – the blob, it grew
More than even the farmer knew.

One cold night when a storm was blowing,
Lightning struck the milk blob and it started glowing!

Then from out of the depths of the lake
Came a monster that was the farmer’s mistake.

There on the shore, as tall as the trees,
Stood a hideous monster – a giant cheese!

“Caramba!” said the farmer. “This cannot be!
This monster, it lives because of ME!”

It looked very angry, a horrible beast.
It marched through the village and into the east.

Now, I wasn’t there – and I tell you, I’m glad.
They say that the monster smelled very bad.

Now the cheese monster (from what I did learn)
Was stomping around Europe and made a wrong turn.

Where did he stomp? Where did he prance?
He made the mistake of going to France.

It’s a well-known fact – French people like cheese
With bread and wine, with chicken and peas,

With crackers and sweets, and frog legs, too.
They even eat cheese that is moldy and blue.

The day the cheese came was the best day ever.
When the cheese attacked France, the French got clever.

The French brought crackers and knives by the ton.
They attacked the cheese monster and finally won.

“We had so much cheese from the monster,” they say,
“That we French still serve him in restaurants today.”

The moral to the story is – go where you please,
But don’t go to France if you’re a giant cheese!

DANCING FOOLS

BeeBees To Take Dancing Lessons After Holiday Party Fiasco

At least one dozen BeeBees have "volunteered" to take dancing lessons after performing some disastrous holiday dance moves, which knocked over several tables with trays of hors d'oeuvres. According to witnesses, partners of the BeeBees involved suffered only minor injuries and no one had to be taken to the emergency room. Observers from Ree World News found out that costs associated with damage to the tables and destruction of many trays of hors d'oeuvres will run into the tens of dollars.

A representative from the Ree Dance Academy was quick to recommend their competitors for the lessons. "We have many beautiful decorations at our main ballroom, and really don't want to risk them." A SpokesBeebee for The Erf School of Dance, one of the competitors, had no comment.
