You have to learn lots of weird things before you become a grown-up: reading, writing, putting your hand up in class, brushing your teeth, saying “Yes, please” and “No, thank you” and “How are you doing?”. But you’ll learn absolutely NONE of that in 101 things to do Before You Grow up.

This book is about all the funny, crazy, exciting, wonderful and magical things you can do in childhood that grownups don’t often get to do.

Suggested activities include:

• Talking in rhyme!
• Living backwards for a day!
• Going on holiday at home!
• Swapping families!

Readers are guided through an inventive universe of short texts and colourful illustrations that are bursting with energy, humour and playfulness. The book aims to encourage children to hold onto the unique aspects of childhood that also, oddly enough, help make us better, cooler and more creative grownups later in life.
