Can of Worms Kids Press (7 Peacock Yard)

will have a wonderful array of award-winning children’s books available at special prices for the Open Studios this year. There will be two new Mission:Explore titles (winner of the National Trust Outdoors Book of the Year Award), a children’s book, The Boy Who Biked the World, by serial adventurer and round the world cyclist Alastair Humphreys, Monkey Magic by Grant S Clark and many more. Treat the kid’s in your life and in you to the best in children’s publishing.

There’s been quite a rhythm to business at Can of Worms recently. Nine titles out in the last couple of months with Goodnight Keith Moon the latest to come in from the printers and publishing on June 17th just in time for some fathers.

If you were wondering what to get your dad for Father’s Day (June 19th in the UK) then this is the perfect gift. He will be over the moon. If like me he has read Goodnight Moon the children’s classic a thousand times plus, then Goodnight Keith Moon will provide a a great riff relief.

The New Yorker said this:

Morbidly funny … this book has something for all ages. For the grandparent, a nostalgic game of find the Who reference; the parent, a sad reminder of how cool things used to be; and for the kid, tucked into bed listening to the the most inappropriate bed time story ever, a lesson: old people are weird [and] alcohol kills.

You can pre-order your copy from Amazon now in the United States for $6.18 plus P&P or the United Kingdom £6.29 plus P&P or you can order it right now from Can of Worms for £6.99 inc P&P for addresses in the UK (we’ll send it out first class post).

Goodnight Keith Moon is published by our new Word of Mouth imprint. Word of Mouth has been set up to publish books worth talking about. So please tell a friend and while you are at it check out The Inkspot Monologues by Keith Pointing.

Hello! We had a great day on the Southbank in London launching Mission:Explore balloons. (PLEASE NOTE our balloons and tags are all biodegradable – breaking down as quickly as oak leaves).

This is where we’ll be mapping all the discovered balloons.

If you’ve found a balloon, let us know:

where you found it, and when and what number is on the tag.

Let us know your contact details as well (we promise not to sell it or spam you!) and we’ll add it to the map. If your balloon wins one of the prizes, we’ll send you some delightful goodies. Send these details over to us at explore at canofwormsenterprises dot co dot uk.

While you’re here, it would be terribly rude not to introduce ourselves. We’re the publishers of Mission: Explore, a series of books that National Geographic called “bold, cool, exciting …and just plain fun!”. The aim of the books to to get children exploring our world and seeing it in a different way. The authors, The Geography Collective, have a brilliant website where you can find exciting missions all over the UK – there’s even an iPhone app! Check it out here.

You can buy any of the books at a special discounted rate using the button below:

Eye Books author, Alastair Humphreys‘ inspirational book Ten Lessons from the Road is set to come out in Greek from the publishers Dioptra. Dioptra is one of Greece’s leading publishers of inspirational books and we have every reason to believe that Alastair’s book, called Live the Dream in its Greek edition will be a tour de force. Congratulations to Alastair from everyone at Eye Books & Can of Worms.

You can Live the Dream with Alastair’s English edition by buying it here:
10 Lessons from the Road

We tend to strive for what we know we can achieve. What’s the point of that? Alastair learnt a thing or two as he cycled around the world. He learnt that big achievements come from big dreams, that they often start with big talk, and they guarantee some really big scares along the way. He also learnt that you only learn how far you can go by going too far.
