This book made me laugh out loud.

Ugatha's Uncle Ugstein was considerably more inventive than your average sort of caveman.
Even so it was odd that he should have the idea for a vacuum-cleaner when........
...at that precise moment six hundred and twenty thousand years in the future, young Doreen Pegg was building..

A HIDEOUS SECRET
This paralysingly funny book displays it's own workings like the Lloyds building, with an explosively intrusive author.

BEE PREE-PEAR HEAD
This is the long-awaited follow up to Bob Wilson's classic 'Ging Gang Goolie...' - a huge best-seller, still going strong and deservedly so. Wilson's combination of wacky humour and mad cartoon- style illustration is terrific. Why not do yourself a favour - (because you'll love reading them too) and get both.
