Turkey Surprise!

"Once upon a time, on the Island of Meddybemps..."
On warm, sunny afternoons, you're likely to find children knocking on the door of Tippity Witchet's windmill house asking her to tell them a Beantime Story.
Tippity is always happy to see them. She invites the children to pick ripe jellybeans from her garden to eat while she tells her tales.
You should find a comfy place to sit and join them to hear some of their favorite stories. Tippity might even recite a poem or two.
