Baboon Metaphysics

NZ$ 20.00 each

Hardback

Author: Horace Bent (Ed.)

Published by: Aurum Press Ltd

In Stock: 9

The eagerly-anticipated Diagram Prize contest is back, and has selected this year's most bizarre book title. Established in 1978 by the Diagram Group to avoid boredom at the Frankfurt Bookfair and now presided over by the Bookseller, the prize has become an annual media event. Stuffed full of sniggeringly-good titles such as Hot Topics in Urology, When Men are Pregnant and Everything I Know About Women I Learned from My Tractor, Baboon Metaphysics includes the funniest titles short-listed for the prize in previous years. Nominees range from the thoughtful Why Replace a Missing Back Tooth? to the alarming Oral Sadism and the Vegetarian Personality to the down-right puzzling Children Are Wet Cement. Also featuring are some surprising self-help titles such as How to Write While You Sleep and If You Want Closure In Your Relationship, Start With Your Legs.

Daddy Book

NZ$ 10.00 each

Paperback

Author: Todd Parr

Published by: ABC Books

Some daddies sing in the shower. Some daddies sing to you in bed. Some daddies teach you how to walk. Some daddies teach you how to ride a skateboard. All daddies (and their kids) will love this book!

With child-like smiling stick figures, bold, brilliant colour and upbeat text, picture-book creator Todd Parr celebrates the diverse, wonderful world of fathers in The Daddy Book.

Parr focuses on the differences between individual parents ("Some daddies make biscuits. Some daddies stop for doughnuts"), but brings it all together every few pages with lines like "All daddies like to kiss and hug you!" and finishing with "All daddies want you to be who you are!" Parr's quirky artwork and eternally optimistic - yet never saccharine - books are truly irresistible, for both grown-ups and kids.
