Who needs a 130 sheet cross-cut shredder when you have a spunky little puppy that can take care of all your shredding needs? This white and black model shreds paper of all types; copy paper, newspaper, wrapping paper, tissue paper, tissues (both clean and otherwise), magazines, cardboard, and yes, even the paper label around plastic water bottles. Leave a tissue behind on the couch? Leave the newspaper on the chair while you refill your tea? Walk away from your Ladies Home Journal magazine? Forget to put your water bottle in the recycling bin? Never fear, Jellybean the shredder is here! Moving faster than the community shred truck, Jellybean hones in on the treasure of the moment. Using her front paws to keep the object secure, Jellybean, begins pulling and tearing at her prize. Pull, tear, spit! Pull, tear, spit! Pull, tear, spit! She continues until the object has been obliterated and strewn all over the floor. Satisfied that her work has been completed to the best of her ability, Jellybean stands proudly amid the mess.
Not only is this rambunctious puppy a shredder, she is also a taker. She takes things that do not belong to her; shoes, socks, gloves to name a few items. Her tendency to stake claim on my personal items developed very early in life. It amused me so much that it actually became the inspiration for my first children’s picture book, titled – are you ready? Naughty Little Puppy. It’s not a very original title, but quite a true representation of Jellybean, my precocious, yet lovable, albeit naughty little fur ball. The repetitive text and short, structured sentences, make it the perfect book for the 3-5 year old crowd. I should mention that my illustrator, Shana Morrow, did an incredible job of capturing Jellybean’s personality through her artistic rendering of Jellybean.
