Welcome to Litsy!

A deliciously funny read-aloud picture book of 5 separate stories about dealing with life's challenges and the fun of riding the Ups and Downs of life. BOOM!!! The balloon popped in the air and the elephant fell into a chair. Only it wasn't just any chair, but the throne of the king. The giraffe started to dance and the monkey started to sing: "Sound the trumpets, let the bells ring, we have a new king!" Bright illustrations and playful rhymes come together in this collection of fun stories that's sure to teach valuable lessons to kids that life is full of both success and disappointment. That there are good times and bad times. That when there are Downs, there are sure to be Ups. And vice versa. Like the elephant with the balloon that flies away to his dream lagoon where he is King of the Jungle, until the lion returns to expel the elephant and reclaim his throne. Parents will love reading this humorous book over and over again to their kids, teaching them five valuable lessons that will endure for a lifetime: 1)If you become successful, don't forget your friends and the people who made you successful. 2)If you go on adventures, you should do no wrong, instead find out where you truly belong. 3)There is no pleasure in life without pain. 4)Don't play cat and mouse games if you are the mouse. 5)Don't expect the Ups of life to last forever, because the Downs won't last forever either. A bestselling book in Bulgaria, brought to the English-speaking audience. A perfect kid-combo. From the kangaroo who would only hop for a soda pop, to the rat who got a splendid idea to put a collar on the house cat, Ups and Downs is jam-packed with bedtime stories. Each tale uses rhyming verses and a lively cast of characters to create an entertaining view of the world that will teach every child to enjoy life no matter what.
