The animal bop just won`t stop so move your body from bottom to top! Join jolly jellyfish, mischievous meerkats, a gentle giraffe, parading peacocks, and many more in this high energy invitation to take part in the animal bop. The rhythmic rhyming text encourages all sorts of actions and noises that are lots of fun to do - prowling and growling, wiggling and sashaying, trotting and strutting.

Sound effects for the energetic antics of the animals, along with sparkling jazzy rhythms, provide a perfect backing-track to the narration of The Animal Bop Won`t Stop on the accompanying audio CD.

But, to Orwell, Stalin was always a “disgusting murderer” and he wanted to remind people of this fact in a powerful and memorable way.But how to do it? A political essay would never reach a wide enough audience; a traditional novel would take too long to write. Orwell hit on the inspired idea of combining the moralism of the...
