the attack! As they go marauding around their village, upsetting
the apple carts, little do they know there is a force far more
powerful than they: their mum! The story ends on the terrible two
being plunged into a cold bath!Gloriously funny, slapstick, fast
paced action from the queen of funny.
Who would bring the door, la puerta, to a picnic instead of the pig, el puerco? An old man who's great at gardening but lousy at listening to his wife! "In the universal tradition of the wise-fool story, this gentle disaster tale is funny and affectionate....The combination is great for reading aloud." -- Booklist "Cepeda makes brilliant use of color, form, and perspective to add humor to the work. It's a story children will want to retell themselves." -- Kirkus Reviews
After fifteen fearsome years on the page, "Horrible Histories" are
coming to the small screen - with all the nasty bits intact - of
course. Want to know: a genuine jester's joke; why chickens had
their bottoms shaved; and, what ten-year-old treacle was used for?
Join Rattus Rattus and the gang for the funniest, fastest, nastiest
and daftest ride through history you're ever likely to see...
From bestselling author Beth Garrod comes a fantastically funny
wish fulfilment story. Perfect for fans of The Extremely
Embarrassing Life of Lottie Brooks and The Amazing Edie Eckhart.
Secondary school is ninety-eight days away, which means I'm running
out of time to break free from my totally embarrassing nickname
Breaking News Nelly . . . Why did it have to be me who tripped
playing netball and smashed a TV camera during the live report on
our new sports hall opening?! I desperately need a relaunch, but
it's hard when you have the worst luck in the world! At least I
have my best friends Clara and Jas. Even though nothing ever seems
to go right for us, we've always been in it together. Like the time
we wrote down our ultimate wishes but knew they wouldn't come true
. . . until they did! Now more and more of our wishes are being
granted, and we're having the best time ever! Maybe my fortunes
have changed and I have the chance to ditch my old identity and
become Totally Cool Nelly. Surely absolutely nothing is about to go
wrong . . .? Praise for Sister Switch: 'Hilarious!' Jenny
Valentine, author of A Girl Called Joy 'Blistering funny, this book
is a joyous, sunny, heart-warming treat!' Simon James Green, author
of Life of Riley 'World-class and whip-smart comedy.' Sibeal
Pounder, author of the Bad Mermaid series 'Beth Garrod is the queen
of capturing those funny-awful-awkward teen moments and she creates
such warm, loveable and relatable characters!' Perdita Cargill,
author of Diary of an Accidental Witch

Silly Joke Book - with Dick and Dom's Christmas Jokes, Nuts and

Join Mr. Bird and Mouse in this witty introduction to all the
everyday things you can find in a "People House", perfect for young
readers! When Mouse and Mr. Bird find their way into a "People
House", they are thrilled with how much there is to see! From
chairs and stairs to hooks and books, balls of string and bells to
ring, these two chaotic creatures quickly cause mischief in every
room. But are those footsteps they can suddenly hear? Easy to read
and full of familiar words for early readers, this story brings Dr.
Seuss's unique blend of rhyme, rhythm, repetition and classic
humour to the home environment.
The Enormous Crocodile is hungry and ready to use cunning plans and
clever tricks to snap up a snack. Just be careful that he doesn't
snap up . . . YOU! A finger puppet book that really bites, this is
a laugh-out-loud book for adults and chiddlers to read together
The brand-new, hilarious book from bestselling, record-breaking
author Adam Kay. The olden days were pretty fun if you liked
wearing chainmail or chopping people's heads off but there was one
TINY LITTLE problem back then . . . doctors didn't have the
slightest clue about how our bodies worked. It's time to find out
why Ancient Egyptians thought the brain was just a useless load of
old stuffing that might as well be chucked in the bin, why teachers
forced their pupils to smoke cigarettes, why hairdressers would cut
off their customers' legs, and why people used to get paid for
farting. (Unfortunately that's no longer a thing - sorry.) You'll
get answers to questions like: Why did patients gargle with wee?
How did a doctor save people's lives using a washing machine, a can
of beans and some old sausages? What was the great stink? (No, it's
not what doctors call your bum.) If you're sure you're ready, then
pop a peg on your nose (there was a lot of stinky pus back then),
pull on your wellies (there was a lot of poo there too), wash your
hands (because they certainly didn't) and explore this gross and
gruesome history of the human body! Praise for Kay's Anatomy: 'An
enjoyably gross look at the human body. Hours of gruesome fun
guaranteed' i 'Like listening to a teacher who makes pupils fall
about' Sunday Times 'Totally brilliant!' Jacqueline Wilson 'Fun and
informative' Malorie Blackman 'Very funny - this exciting book is
bound to inspire the next generation of medics' Sunday Express
25 getoorde resepte wat jou gaan laat lag terwyl jy leer!
Verveel jou gewone skoolhandboeke jou? Maar is jy nuuskierig en wonder
jy hoe die wêreld rondom jou werk? Dan is hierdie die boek vir jou!
Len, Lara en Leon is die nuuskierigste kinders op aarde. Hulle vra
gedurig vrae en wonder hoekom dinge werk soos dit werk. Hulle doen
eksperimente en leer baie oor lugdruk, swaartekrag en energie.
Hulle doen dit lag-lag, want hulle kan nie help om mekaar poetse te bak
soos hulle speel-speel slim word nie!
For adventurous readers of all ages... a book of nonsense, old and
new... a playful text, like a game to share, a challenge... an
absurd-word wrangle-mangle, a story-stew... This beautifully
presented and fully illustrated new collection presents many
English-language favourites, some old and some newly made, to try
twisting your tongue to. Dip in and out, or attempt to read all the
way to the end in one sitting. The word gatherings get harder as
the book goes on, but each gets easier, of course, once you have a
go... Read these words carefully and out loud. Follow the book's
path as it turns and twists, as it stoops and stumbles. Keep up as
it baffles your brain and shifts your senses. Try saying them as
fast as you can. Delight in the confusion and test yourself. You'll
soon get the hang of it. Can you read this book? We look forward to
finding out.
