Looking for a gift that will bring laughs on day one and become a family favorite over time? Combining ridiculous stories in rhyme with beautiful illustrations, Life Hacks – the Essential Collection is the ideal present for people of all ages who giggle at the memories of cringe-worthy mishaps, and the sillier lessons of life.
Funny and beautifully illustrated, this book will ring a note with anyone who has ever discovered that a simple task turned out not to be so simple after all. Life Hacks – the Essential Collection takes a geeky view of problem-solving for tasks ranging from clearing blocked waste pipes to chopping nuts. The pictures are a delight in themselves, introducing a range of characters from sweet to smug, as they experience the joys and desolations of daily life.
A quirky pudding of joy brought to you by the prizewinner of the Maltings Free Press First Edition Award, and surely the only author to have rhymed “surprise” with “intoxifies.”
James’ drawings complement great little stories to illustrate the truisms he offers. He populates almost-believable worlds with a mix of both delightful characters and rather disgusting ones.
