Face it: You were awesome when you were a kid. You feared nothing.
You spoke your mind. You tried new things. You had imagination. Now
you play by the rules, dress appropriately and choose politeness
over self-expression. Well, life's too short for that and this book
proves it. Vintage photographs of real kids doing awesome
stuff-wearing footie pj's, eating sugar cereal, napping and showing
off-accompany witty captions that poke fun at the doldrums of adult
life and remind us to unleash our inner kid. With a hilarious dose
of 80s and 90s nostalgia, just enough snark and an ultimately
uplifting message, I Was an Awesomer Kid is a great gift for all
who are young at heart . . . or wish they still were!

Otters are some of the most delightful animals on the planet. These
long, lean, furry creatures embody pure joy in so many ways - they
live for napping, playing, making friends and eating, and forget
about the rest. Pretty inspiring, right? In a world that can often
seem divided, lonely, and just plain cruel, the otter reminds us of
what's important in life. What other animal: * Holds hands with
their friends whilst napping so they don't float away? *
Communicates in a flurry of whistles, chirps, chuckles, clicks and
coos? * Builds a waterslide on a daily basis? * Befriends other
species, just because? * Eats food off their tummy while floating
peacefully with their pals? These intelligent, adorable,
water-dwelling mammals have a lot to teach us about the way we
live. So, kick back, grab a pal, dive in and reconnect with your
playful side, just like you otter!
Lying on a riverbank on a lazy summer's afternoon - 23rd June 2016,
to be precise - Alice spots a flustered-looking white rabbit called
Dave calling for a referendum. Following him down a rabbit-hole,
she emerges into a strange new land, where up is down, black is
white, experts are fools and fools are experts... She meets such
characters as the Corbynpillar, who sits on a toadstool smoking his
hookah and being no help to anyone; Humpty Trumpty, perched on a
wall he wants the Mexicans to pay for; the Cheshire Twat, who likes
to disappear leaving only his grin, a pint, and the smell of scotch
eggs remaining; and the terrifying Queen of Heartlessness, who'll
take off your head if you dare question her plan for Brexit. Will
Alice ever be able to find anyone who speaks sense?
