The Jelly Bean

A magical colorful journey to the world of jelly beans

Tess is six and she loves jelly beans, and believes that you can do just about anything with them. Count them, sort them by colours, play noughts and crosses with them, make different shapes with them and of course eat them. She loves all the colours, except the black ones. When a huge jar of jelly beans turns up one day, Tess is delighted, but Mum has placed them on top of the fridge out of Tess's reach and Tess has been told that she is not allowed to have any until after dinner. Not happy with this idea, Tess does just about anything she can to get a hold of them, but each time she gets closer Mum catches her and Tess must abandon her attempts. With Mum now out of the room Tess decides she has to have one more try when she realises that the jelly beans have now gone missing, she is not happy and must now hunt them down. Where did the jelly beans go? Who stole them? What will Mum say? "Mum," calls Tess, "someone stole the jelly beans."
