jump... Take off on a night flight, have a monster's lunch, listen
to birdsong, shout out the Apatosaurus rap and check out Alexander
Fleming's petri dish. The read the note Cinderella left for her
Ugly Sisters! A spectacular debut collection from an exciting new
poet who is also a brilliant performer of her work in schools and

Be careful what you wish for! Rita really really really wanted a
rabbit. Spike was NOT a rabbit. He was scaly, scary, scratchy,
scrabbly, scrawny, speckled and spiky. Rita is so very sure she
wants a fluffy pet rabbit and NOT a scaly, scratchy bearded dragon
called Spike . . . But when a fussy, grouchy, messy rabbit comes to
stay, she discovers they aren't necessarily as adorable as they
seem. Spike saves the day and Rita is very glad to be rid of the
rabbit and very in love with her speckled, scrawny, spiky pet. A
very funny text wonderfully complemented by Hannah Peck's witty
artwork.

'A really interesting proper analysis of the ins and outs of love. A
kind of marvellous feat.' Richard Curtis
Poets, philosophers and artists have been trying to explain romantic
love for centuries, but it remains one of the most complex and
intimidating terrains to navigate. Most people are afraid to be open
and honest about their relationships - until now.
For We Need to Talk Above Love, Laura Mucha has interviewed hundreds of
strangers, from the ages of 8 to 95 in more than 40 countries, asking
them to share their most personal stories, feelings and insights about
love. These intimate and illuminating conversations raised important
questions, such as:
- How does your upbringing influence your relationships?
- Does love at first sight exist? Should you 'just know'?
- What should you look for in a partner?
- Is monogamy natural?
- Why do people cheat?
- How do you know when it's time to walk away?
Drawing on psychology, philosophy, anthropology and statistics, We Need
to Talk About Love combines evidence, theory and everyday experience
and is the perfect read for anyone who is curious about how we think,
feel and behave when it comes to love.
