Jungle In The Gym

Author

Matt Decker

Originally, I wrote "Jungle In The Gym" as a short story. However, due to feedback from some of my readers as well as my own self-critique, it became clear to me that the story would make a great children's book. I crafted it in Seussian style. Paired with the right illustrator, I am convinced that "Jungle In The Gym" has great market potential.

About Book

Genre: Tall tale
Language: English
Planned publishing date: 15.12.2018

Timmy walks with his teacher and his classmates to the school gym. He always looks forward to recess. But little does he expect the "wild adventure" that awaits him.

This story is a fun illustration in the power of imagination.

The sights I see are so so silly --

A gibbon wearing a ribbon,

A gorilla with an umbrella,

A caterpillar riding an armadillo

And a chinchilla just chillin'.

 

Wow! There's a parrot

And a rabbit eating a carrot,

I swear it!

A cockatoo just flew

Out of the locker room,

I declare it!

 

I see a toucan

On the recycling bin!

 

Monkeys on the bars?

You bet there are!

 

Now I hear a lion,

And I ain't lyin'!

 

Behind that door

I hear RAWR!

 

My teacher is petting a tiger,

I hope it doesn't bite her!

But it really seems to like her.

I promise I'm not a liar!

 

As I stand and stare,

From out of nowhere

A frog lands in my hair!

PLOP! Then HOP!

HOP! HOP! HOP!

This is going on my blog!

 

I hear a hypnotic hip-hop hippopotamus,

I recognize a riveting rhyming rhinoceros.

 

Whoa! My cousin Leonard

Just about lost his freckles

When he almost got leveled

By a lively leapin' leopard!

What is a Book ICO?


Book ICO is the next generation way to kick-start books — authors publish their way.

ICO’s took 2017 by storm. Publica Book ICO’s are the next generation crowdfunder-plus-presale for ebooks where authors are free to publish their way.

Authors — You set your own prices for during and after your Book ICO. When your book is a recognized token on a blockchain you’re selling book tokens directly to your followers who support you and look forward to the promised release.

Presale funds can improve the quality of independently published books. Or publicize great books that might never find their true audience without it.Your book tokens work anywhere in the world on any iOS or Android device.

Readers — When you buy a book token, that’s your private access key to read the book in your Publica reader app available now for iOS and Android phones and tablets. Many Chromebooks too.

You can also send book tokens to other people, unlike any conventional ebook. So buy as many book tokens as you want!

You can also sell recognized book tokens on a secondary token exchange so depending on the total circulation of a book’s tokens, tokens in your wallet may grow in value if the book becomes collectable.

What are you waiting for? Oh, the countdown clock...

  • Why do you need cryptocurrencies and blockchain?

    By using cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology we can now introduce immediate and direct transactions between authors and readers, bring trust and transparency into the ecosystem as well as give authors tools to set up their own business models by using smart-contracts. This allows authors to sell directly to their readers at an unprecedented and scalable level.

    With no middleman, authors are in full control of their author business. Blockchain empowers authors by placing them at the heart of the financial model.
