Book & CD Launch October 2009
Hi Folks,
You can order the book and CD online from early October, in time for a pre-Christmas delivery. "Meet the Bumblejums" book and CD will be an introduction to the Bumblejums and their special powers linked to nature.
You'll see Jo make it rain with a blink of her eyes and how Jon makes plants grow with just a touch! You can also sing along with the Bumblejums as they go sailing on the Russell River and take a walk through the woods in Dandy Forest!
The book is designed to help kids aged 3-7 begin the voyage of discovery relating to respect and responsibility towards nature and time spent enjoying it. The CD is the "Ultimate Singalong" for the car Journey with 10 fun and catchy songs. The book and CD can be ordered together or individually.
Feel free to register on the site and we will notify you of the release date.
Bye for now...
The Team in Bally Bo.
We are getting ready to launch our new book and CD of songs "Meet the Bumblejums". The CD is narrated by Andy Rowe who provides the voice of Loey, a friend of the Bumblejums. You can hear a welcome clip from Loey on our myspace site here.

Album Progress
Hello Friends,
We are making good progress on "Meet the Bumblejums" our first CD. You can hear some samples on
http://www.myspace.com/thebumblejums
This record is all about love of nature and the wonder in the small things, rain, sunshine, clouds... so to get into the spirit of things, just head outdoors. Go on a picnic, take a bike ride, an amazing balloon ride or even just a walk in the park!

We're hoping to have "Meet the Bumblejums" ready for sale in time for Christmas. So hopefully it will make a perfect present for that tricky to buy for person or parents in need of a singalong CD for the car journey...and the kids get to learn a little bit about nature and the Bumblejums!
We'll be starting work on a book to go with the CD soon too!
Bye for now.

More Music....
The Bumblejums are going back in the studio this weekend to work on some new tracks.
There's one about a Balloon made of leaves that floats through the tree tops and we'll be putting the finishing touches to The River Song. We should be able to add these tracks to www.myspace.com/thebumblejums next week sometime.
Thank you all for the feedback on the website updates, we'll be adding more soon.

Ringing in the changes.
We've updated the site with some minor and some major tweaks.
Access to the cottage is now open to everyone so you don't have to register to explore. "Knock on the door, say hello and take a peek inside"! We've opened up some doors that lead to the Bumblejums bedrooms. We will be adding new items into their rooms over time. There are also some some doors that remain unopened for now!
Onto some bigger changes...
The name Halibo has changed to "Bally Bo". Eagle eyed childrens programming people pointed out that Halibo sounds unfortunately similar to a very well known Candy manufacturer and of course we don't want to promote unhealthy eating... A Bumblejum is more likely to say "Eat your Greens" than eat lots of sugar!! So Bally Bo it is.
Gem has undergone a change to become Jem the sunsational, fun loving and bright as a button, sunshine girl! Her enthusiasm is likely to knock you over so watch out!
We're not finshed there, over the coming months we will be adding more and more updates to the site with animations, games, books and sounds so be sure and check back when you have 5 minutes...
We are also working on some new exciting characters that live in Bally Bo that keep the goings on in Bally Bo interesting as there is always something afoot!
Thanks for visiting and please tell your friends if they have children or nieces and nephews or know someone with children... that must be everyone to come along and visit too! We love visitors and you might even get offered a cup of tea at cosy Hedgy Cottage if the Bumblejums are home!
