Weasels getting ready for the the Roald Dahl Funny Prize

Tomorrow is the Roald Dahl Funny Prize and my book Weasels is up for it! The Weasels are busy getting ready for the ceremony and I must say eye-patch weasel is quite the snazzy dresser. The less said about Dave the better.

Father Christmas Activity Card

I finally got the samples of a Christmas card/activity book I did ages ago. IT HAS STICKERS! I may have just spent a happy 10min doing the activities myself. It's available from here.

World Domination Machines

The Just Imagine Story Centre ran a competition with Elsenham Primary school for the kids to design their own World Domination Machines much like the one from Weasels. There were some particularly brilliant machines with a range of features, aside from the usual switches and buttons, including Sky TV, a collection of trophies, some kind of homicidal dog and a cosy little bed and breakfast. Here are the finalists:

And here's the most excellent winner by one Josiah. It seems to have both a quiet area and a pitch n' putt. Congratulations Josiah!

Weasel nominated for the Kate Greenaway Medal.

To celebrate my book Weasels being shortlisted for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize and nominated for the Kate Greenaway Medal (these are both rather good things in the heady world of children’s books) I’ve created a montage of my favorite bits from the book. If it's a little small here there's a bigger version here on my tumblr.

Want to know what on earth any of this is about? Well you can get a copy of Weasels from here, here and here.

Roald Dahl Funny Prize 2013

Weasels has been shortlisted for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize 2013! I'm crazy excited and a bit bowled over by the whole shebang. 

It's a bit worrying though. Now that I'm officially funny does it mean I'm under pressure to say amusing and witty things? I think from now on I'm just going to be very, very serious so here a link to today's stock prices.

But if you fancy reading Weasels and not stock prices you can peek inside here:

Nuts in Space!

Finally, the time has come! I can talk about my next book Nuts in Space!

A fearless crew of woodland creatures have traveled to the far reaches of deep space to retrieve the LOST NUTS OF LEGEND, a fabled snack rumoured to bestow incredible benefits upon the bearer. Now all they have to do is bring them home, if it only were that easy...

I don't want to give the game away too much but I can tell you it features this Beaver:

This Moose:

A hovering turtle:

 
Robocow:

And an awful lot of angry monkeys:

It's out April 2014!
