An Amazon Best Children's Book of the Month from the New York Times bestselling author of the Goodnight Already! series-now in paperback! This is a book about a bad seed. A baaaaaaaaaad seed. How bad? Do you really want to know? He has a bad temper, bad manners, and a bad attitude. He's been bad since he can remember! This seed cuts in line every time, stares at everybody and never listens. But what happens when one mischievous little seed changes his mind about himself, and decides that he wants to be-happy? With Jory John's charming and endearing text and bold expressive illustrations by Pete Oswald, here is The Bad Seed: a funny yet touching tale that reminds us of the remarkably transformative power of will, acceptance, and just being you. Perfect for readers young and old, The Bad Seed proves that positive change is possible for each and every one of us.

Little Penguin has problems: his beak is cold; there's snow everywhere; the water smells salty; he waddles; he looks the same as everybody else. No - it's not easy being a penguin! The New York Times called Penguin Problems both "funny and acerbic," the London Evening Standard declared it to be "hilarious," and the Observer proclaimed, "A philosophy manual for readers of all ages ... wonderfully original." In this hilarious first collaboration from Jory John and the multi-award winning Lane Smith, a penguin levels with human readers about what penguin life is really like ... and it isn't all fun and games! Have you ever considered running away to Antarctica? Of course you have! Because it's a land free of worries and responsibilities! Think again, my friend. This penguin has come to tell you that his life down there is no picnic. For starters, it is freezing. Also, penguins have loads of natural predators. Plus, can you imagine trying to find your mum in a big crowd of identical penguins? A feel-good read-aloud for readers of all ages, and the perfect Christmas gift.

Jeff Kinney, az Egy ropi naplója írójának ajánlásával! Meghozza a kedved az olvasáshoz! „Becsületszavamra igyekezni fogok Hogy jó legyek a rosszaságban; Hogy zavart okozzak, de ne pusztítsak; Hogy akadályozzam a gazt, és szórakoztassam a vígat; Hogy tréfának, kópéságnak, trükknek és bohóckodásnak szenteljem az elmém; Hogy bebizonyítsam, a világ fejjel lefelé nézve sokkal szebb; Mert csínytevő vagyok. Úgy legyen!” Miles Murphyt mindenki a csínyeirőlismeri. Nála nagyobb csínytevő még nem járt az iskolájába. Így, amikor kénytelen elköltözni Álmos-völgybe (amit mindenki a teheneiről ismer), azt hiszi, az új suliban is ő lesz a csínyek királya. De az iskolának már megvan a maga mókabajnoka és nem kispályás. Egyáltalán nem az. Csínyháborúra fel! Vesd bele magad!

Takmer každý deň nebojácni špekulanti Miles Murphy a Niles Sparks svojimi kanadskými žartíkmi prevracajú Drichmanskú akadémiu prírodných vied a literatúry hore nohami. Ich výčiny náramne bavia spolužiakov, no strápňujú nepriateľa, namysleného riaditeľa Barkina. Až raz, v deň školského fotografovania, chlapci zájdu priďaleko a pán Barkin dostane padáka. Na jeho miesto nastúpi Barkinov otec, nekompromisný riaditeľ Barkin starší. A je to zlé, lebo ten vládne škole železnou rukou...

From the authors of the breakout national bestseller All My Friends Are Dead (more than 100,000 copies in print) comes a brand new illustrated compendium of the humourous existential ruminations of people, animals, legendary monsters, and inanimate objects. Readers will appreciate the plight of the light bulb whose only friends are burnouts, the caterpillar whose friends have all really changed, the cookie whose friends are crumbs, the cactus whose friends always kind of look like they're flipping you off, the robot who was not programmed to understand the concept of friendship, and many more, and fans new and old will laugh (and cry) out loud with this new, darkly funny celebration of the inevitable.
