Go Mad for Mad Libs
“Look! he said graciously as he jumped into his convertible pocketbook and drove off with his sticky wife. The apprehensive sky started raining gorillas and water bottles as the two happily headed toward their furry hotel.”
Don’t worry – the above paragraph isn’t going to make sense no matter how many times you read it. But it’s not supposed to make sense, and that’s the beauty of Mad Libs!
Mad Libs was invented in 1953 by Leonard Stern and Roger Price, who published the first Mad Libs children’s book in 1958. Mad Libs is a phrasal template word game book based on spontaneous improvisation. One player asks the other for a list of words (adverbs, nouns, adjectives, exclamations, parts of the body, etc.) to substitute for blanks in the story. The result is a hilarious and unrealistic story (that is read aloud) that gets the whole group laughing.
At our online educational book store, we sell many different types of Mad Libs books including Mad Libs From Outer Space, Pirates Mad Libs, and Under the Sea Mad Libs Junior Book. Our Mad Libs books are only $3.99! Order your children’s books today by calling 407-438-6700 today!
Who Do You Love? I Love Lucy!
At 9PM on Oct. 15, 1951, I Love Lucy went on the air for the first time, and hasn’t been off since. I Love Lucy, the classic American sitcom, is considered by many to be one of the best TV shows of all time. This popular television show was one of the first to be filmed in black and white and in front of a studio audience.
I Love Lucy, staring Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, mastered the art of turning reasonable, everyday situations into complete nonsense – a feat familiar to even the best of us. In one episode, Lucy decides to try her hand at working and therefore gets a job at a candy factory. However, later in the episode, you’ll see Lucy stuffing chocolates down her clothes due to a speedy conveyor belt.
At Beyda & Associates, we carry a wide selection of quality Hollywood Classic books, CDs & DVDs at discounted prices. We sell every DVD in the I Love Lucy television series including each individual season and a 50th Anniversary Special DVD of the show.

“Kids, you tried your best, and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try.” – The wisdom of Homer Simpson.
The Simpsons, the longest-running scripted television show in history, is a television show about the satiric adventures of a working class family in the misfit city of Springfield. The Simpsons is meant to portray the typical middle class American family and to parody the American lifestyle and human behavior in general.
The Simpson family is dysfunctional is more ways than can be described. However, the show’s use of situational comedy is quite entertaining, and that is all that matters to American viewers. “D’oh!” – the phrase Homer uses when something bad happens or is about to happen to him – has even become an official word in both the Merriam Webster Dictionary and the Oxford English Dictionary.
At our educational and entertainment-based online book store, you can find many Simpsons books, CDs, and DVDs. Right now we are even offering a special! Enter the coupon code “public” at checkout for 30% off listed prices on all Simpsons books, CDs, and DVDs!
