Henry Paker

Dexter je od narodenia neobyčajný. Začal rozprávať, už keď mal štyri sekundy a v piatich rokoch zložil osemdesiatšesť maturitných skúšok. A teraz ako desaťročný nastúpil do svojej prvej práce – ako lekár. Nemá to však ľahké – dospeláci ho podceňujú a žiarlivý kolega doktor Drake sa usilovne snaží, aby Dextera vyhodili. V Dexterovej bývalej škole sa navyše objavil závažný problém: všetci učitelia dostali hroznú hnačku. Udrží si Dexter prácu, zachráni školu a nájde svoje miesto vo svete?

It was clear from an early age that Dexter Procter was different. He started speaking at four seconds old. By the age of three, he had 87 A-levels, from Afrikaans to Zoology. And by ten, he was working as a paediatrician at Lilydale General Hospital. Despite a loving but annoying family and a couple of good friends (Rupi and Otto), Dexter’s always struggled to fit in. Add to this a mortal enemy (Dr Drake) and a major problem at his old school (all the teachers struck down with awful diarrhoea) – will Dexter be able to save his job, save the school and find his place in the world? (Spoiler alert: yes!) A laugh-out-loud new fiction series about the world's youngest doctor from the record-breaking Adam Kay and Henry Paker.

Do you ever wonder where the stuff around you all came from? No, not from eBay. I mean, who had the amazing idea of making a mobile phone or the annoying idea of building a school? For example, did you know that Velcro was invented by a dog and WiFi by a movie star? (Spoiler alert - it wasn’t Zendaya.) In the fourth laugh-out-loud book from Adam Kay and Henry Paker, you’ll learn all about the coolest, grossest and most ridiculous inventions in the world. You’ll meet the queen who used the first ever toilet, learn why margarine used to be full of maggots and find out why Ancient Greeks wiped their bums on dinner plates. Oh, and hopefully some slightly more useful facts as well… An A to Kay to Z of the random, ridiculous and revolutionary inventions that changed our lives. (And some that definitely didn't . . .)

The first-ever picture book from Adam Kay and Henry Paker. This is the hilarious (and admittedly a tiny bit gross) tale of Amy, a small piece of sweetcorn who is eaten by Noah, a medium-sized boy. The story follows Amy on her funny, gooey and anatomically-accurate adventure through the human body as she discovers lots of facts about digestion. (It's fair to say that parents might learn a little bit too.)

Kdysi dávno to byla fakt zábava, doktoři tehdy vůbec netušili, jak funguje lidské tělo. Je na čase zjistit, proč staří Egypťané nutili své žáky kouřit cigarety a proč se dřív platilo za prdění. Dostanete odpovědi na otázky, které by vás ani nenapadly, jako třeba: Čemu se říkalo velký puch? Jste připravení? Dejte si kolíček na nos, vezměte si holínky, umyjte si ruce a pojďte objevovat nechutné a příšerné dějiny lidského těla!
