New Releases by Terry Denton

Packed full of hours of holiday fun, the Bumper Book is a must-have for every child! This fantastic activity book is full of fun drawing activities, cartoons, maps, lists and games to entertain children, take on holidays or pass the time on long car trips. Terry Denton has an uncanny ability to tap into all the funny, crazy, yucky, weird and downright silly things that children love! Kids will lose themselves for hours in this interactive compilation of everything Terry does best.

Full of highly original, and extremely funny stories, which established Andy Griffiths as the world''s most annoying person. They include convincing his best friend Danny that he is invisible so that he will wreak havoc in the school library, and pretending that corn relish is vomit to make an old lady move seats on a plane.

Features a rat with a bat and a very flat cat and a frog in a bog with a jet-rocket log, but the duck in the truck might just suck them all up. This work presents a collection of utterly nonsensical, totally irreverent rhymes.

In the tradition of Just Tricking!, Just Annoying!, Just Stupid! and Just Crazy!, Andy Griffiths has written nine highly original, humorous new stories about Andy G. Includes a terrible agonising death by flesh-eating zombies, a battle with brussel sprouts (the sprouts win) and the disgusting fact that cockroaches can live for nine days without their heads (they only die because they starve to death). Complemented by imaginative, chaotic and downright disgusting illustrations by Terry Denton.

If you like calm, sensible, fluffy stories, then GO AWAY! Because this is a story about a LUMP OF ROCK!! The dialogue is not very interesting because lumps of rock don t talk! I bet you didn t know that. I bet you thought all the rocks and little stones chatted amongst themselves when you were not around. Well, it s not true. But here are 22 things that are true: 2 An obelisk is a piece of rock. A long thin pointy piece of rock. 4 The planet EEENO is just a piece of rock floating in space. 6 A parallel universe is really another-other piece of rock, just like the other piece of rock, but in the wrong place. 8 An author is just a piece of rock with a laptop. 10 Nell Smith had a dog, called Spot. Spot used to leave little rocks all around the garden. Little smelly rocks. 12 An obelisk is a big, fat, dumb, French comic-strip character. 14 Nico s favourite rock group is the Red Hot Chili Pebbles. 16 My mum s favourite actor was Rock Hudson. 18 He had rocks in his head. 20 So did my mum. 22 So do you.

Here s another collection of Andrew Daddo s hilarious short stories that sold straight through their first print run for Christmas 2001, and generated a fantastic publicity campaign. Anyone who has seen Andrew on television knows that he is a born storyteller. And the stories in Sprung Again! are the kind that parents and grandparents long for, and the kids themselves love: stories of adventure, comedy and mischief from an almost legendary Australia, a place that is often not reported in the daily news. But what immediately strikes readers is that these stories are real . They re about football, fishing, camping, holidays, school gangs, growing up and dealing with the whole messy business of boyfriends and girlfriends, being part of the group or a nerd, so they will be eagerly read by both boys and girls. The stories are pacy and cheeky enough to appeal to the kids who love Andy Griffiths, but their resolution often involves little ethical issues that give them a strong appeal to adults. So Sprung Again! will be an ideal Christmas gift, and will have young readers and adults alike laughing with embarrassment at an author who s caught them out when they weren t looking. Terry Denton is one of the secrets behind the success of Andy Griffiths Just series, and his illustrations put another mischievous twist in Andrew Daddo s adventures.

200 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT STORYMAZE 2 The Eye of Ulam 1. It is written and illustrated by the FUNNIEST MAN in a small part of the SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE. 2. It is a COMIC EXTRAVAGANZA printed with soy sauce on dolphin-free recycled tuna flesh pages. 3. It contains drawings by an ILLUSTRATOR with NO FORMAL TRAINING. 4. It is the second in a series of 12 books ... But I warn you, I may not get around to writing the others because I am a busy man (the busiest man in the southern hemisphere) (and maybe I have better things to do). 5. The word ''STORYMAZE'' describes a combination of a story and a maze. It has 9 letters. So does the word ''DOGCATFLY'' and the word ''CATDOGCAR'' and the word ''DOGDOGDOG''. 6. A rogue iceberg that escaped from Nell Smith''s fridge in 1902 smashed into a bridge in Nepal killing 328 penguins. 7. If you have ever wanted to travel to parallel universes, this is the book for you. It contains a lot of factual information that will assist you. 8. + 9. The person sitting next to you is an idiot. If there is no one sitting next to you then you are an idiot. 200. Because this book is printed on tuna flesh, when you have finished reading it, you can feed it to your cat. If your cat won''t eat it, then it is an alien dressed as a cat!

OK! So you''re not sure whether you want to read this book or not. I''M NOT GOING TO TELL YOU WHAT YOU''RE MISSING OUT ON if you don''t read it. (You won''t believe me anyway.)(Besides I haven''t read it.) I''m not going to tell you how FUNNY this BOOK is or that it was not TESTED ON ANIMALS or that 16 DOLPHINS DIED when the forests were cut down to make the paper for this book. I''m not GOING TO tell you that this book is about SURFING and that it contains a story with heroes of either SEX; it looks at parallel universes, BLOOD, VIOLENCE and stuff. (If read backwards it makes no sense at all.) The Venuzuelan Tribune said: ''We don''t like books with lots of pictures!'' The Daily Bugle said: ''Why bother reading it? None of it''s real.'' The Flying Scotsman wrote: ''I read it from cover to cover but didn''t worry about the bit in between.'' The Egyptian Mummy wrote: ''I was wrapped!''
