A celebration of mischief-makers, rule breakers and wild children everywhere - inspired by Roald Dahl and illustrated by Quentin Blake.

A brand new picture book inspired by Roald Dahl and illustrated by Quentin Blake.

It's rotten when you're very small,
You hardly get a say at all.
It's "No!" and "Quiet!" and "That's enough!"
By golly, life - it can be tough . . .

Inspired by the work of the world's number 1 storyteller, this picture book is a guide to growing up the Roald Dahl way.

Packed with gloriumptious illustrations by Quentin Blake, this brand-new picture book is a celebration of all the tremendous things children have in store - from adventure to inventions, chocolate cakes to rhino poo.

Along with a reminder that the VERY best grown ups are those who hold on tight to the chiddler inside.
