Crazy Choices for Kids!
Strap those lame Would You Rather? books to a rocket and send 'em to oblivion – Crazy Choices are here! Brace yourself for the trickiest, ickiest decisions you can imagine – plus several you'd rather not think about over breakfast, thank you very much (I've told you before about reading at the table).
Pick one: a koala in your cap or a snake in your shoe?
Zoom to school on a pterodactyl or a brontosaurus?
Attack an alligator or brawl with a bear?
THE FUN CONTINUES…
Now grab a friend and buckle up for Brainy's Tricky Trivia! This is Brainy. He's the, umm, brains behind these special choices. Each one comes with a big dollop of trivia and a big reveal: who picked the winner, and who chose the stinker?
Eat cheese
or dandelions
before bed?
Brainy's score: Cheese 4 Dandelions -4
The French know the answer to this one… read Crazy Choices for 6 Year Olds to find out why!
Drink dinosaur
or mouse wee?
Brainy's score: Dinosaur 2 Mouse 0
Clue: could you drink mouse wee in zero gravity? Zoom over to Crazy Choices for 10 Year Olds for more!
Crazy Choices is available for kids aged 6 to 10 (and all proceeds from the 6 year old book go to children's charities).
Get them now on Amazon or on the high street.

Double Trouble for smaller kids!
By the time their child is five years old, the average parent (me) will have prompted their kids to say please 18,432 times (guess). What was that? Trees? Seas? Peas? Ozzie just can't remember – and the consequences will have your child in stitches!
Meanwhile, trouble has come to town and only Dads can help…

And finally…
Me? I’m a grizzled and frazzled father to three girls, living in the south east of England. When I was seven, I wrote to Clive King, author of Stig of the Dump. My letter chased him around the world, only to catch up with him back in London. Bad news: no sequel. But Clive sent my exotically-stamped envelope back and from that age on, I knew I wanted to write.
​
Bizarrely, I waited until I was a dad and had the least free time imaginable to get started. I wrote Cheeky Charlie stories to make children laugh without making grown ups cry and it seemed to work. Jokes, puzzles, picture books and more have followed. Is it time to put the kettle on yet?
