Some people just can't resist showing off... and this book
introduces readers to some of the biggest braggers and loudest
show-offs throughout history. This book takes young readers on a
tour of some of history's greatest show-offs, from wealthy kings
and queens who loved to splash the cash to masterful musicians who
weren't shy about their talents or brilliant artists who could not
stop telling others how great they were. Some of the showoffs in
this book include: Queen Elizabeth I of England, who owned over
2,000 pairs of gloves, Alexander the Great, who named more than 70
cities in his vast empire after himself,... and one after his
horse! The Montgolfier brothers, who showed off their flashy new
invention, the hot air balloon, in front of huge crowds and even
the King and Queen! Andy Seed's hilarious text brings these crazy
but true stories to life, as he tells readers tales about massive
palaces, fast cars, monster banquets, immense armies, frilly
outfits, dazzling bling, musical masterpieces, epic artworks,
outrageous inventions and much, much more! Featuring long-dead
leaders, artists, musicians and more, from all around the world,
the snappy facts are paired with humorous character illustrations
from the brilliant Sam Caldwell for maximum hilarity.
More stories of mayhem from the world's favourite dysfunctional
family - the Simpsons! In 'The Absent-Minded Protester', it's
Grampa's turn to take to the streets of Springfield in the guise of
his graffitti-writing, outlaw, alter-ego, El Grampo! And in
'Dullards to Donuts' Homer's favourite food becomes strangely
addictive, as Mr Burns introduces his own unique brand to the power
plant. Finally, in 'Sense and Censorability', Homer and Comic Book
Guy plead the First Amendment to defend their right to read comics.
A worthy cause.. but then you knew that, right?
