Adam Sandler stars in this comedy as an absent father who re-enters
the life of his estranged son in an attempt to sting him for cash.
Donny, a foul-mouthed, hedonistic middle-aged playboy who is facing
a jail sentence for tax evasion, finds out that Todd (Andy
Samberg), the son he fathered as a teenager with his high school
teacher, is now a hedge fund manager and about to tie the knot with
his fiancée (Leighton Meester). Donny instantly sees an opportunity
to get hold of the cash he needs to bail him out of jail, and turns
up at Todd's door the day before his wedding, sending his son's
well-ordered life spinning into chaos.
Clare Leighton was one of the most prolific and highly regarded
wood engravers of her time, leaving behind a body of work that
reflected her rural life in Britain and North America. During the
1930s, as the world around her became increasingly technological,
industrial, and urban, Leighton portrayed rural men and women and
the ancient methods they used to work the land that would soon
vanish forever. Her two best-loved publications, The Farmer’s
Year and Four Hedges, reflect this passion for the British
countryside. Less well known are her books illustrating and
describing rural life in the United States of America, where she
emigrated and became a naturalized citizen in 1945, including
Southern Harvest and Where Land Meets Sea: The Tide Line of Cape
Cod. Leighton also spent time in Canada with the logging community,
winning the respect of Canadian lumberjacks by adopting their way
of life. Her wood engravings depicting lumberjacks in the
snow-covered forests of Canada are some of her most evocative
prints. This lavish anthology includes beautifully reproduced
extracts and a detailed introduction to the artist’s life and
work, reflecting Leighton’s lifelong fascination with the virtues
of the countryside and the people who worked the land.

A hilarious celebration of tooters everywhere, featuring shy,
little Jerboa and his wise companion, Elephant. Jerboa is going
about his day when he releases a squeaky, stinky toot which shocks
the shy creature into thinking he’s done something wrong.
Luckily, Elephant is on hand to weigh in with a wise word; after
all, no matter how cheeky it might sound, EVERYBODY TOOTS! Join
Elephant and Jerboa on a journey through the bottom-singing animal
kingdom and beyond, to explore the secret (and not so secret) lives
of tooters everywhere – from the gentle hums and private pongs,
to the earth-quaking whoppers and loud and proud trumps. With comic
rhyming text from Jonny Leighton and entertaining illustrations
from Mike Byrne – the dynamic duo behind Does a Bear Poo in the
Woods? and Which Bum’s Mum’s? – this picture book will have
kids roaring (and perhaps even tooting!) with laughter. Also
available: Does a Bear Poo in the Woods? 9781780557151 Which
Bum’s Mum’s? 9781780558127
