Some kind words that we’ve had about the book so far:

“This is a brilliant book.” Rob Bushby, John Muir Award Manager, John Muir Trust.

“It’s not a book for the bookshelf; it’s one to have out, finger-marked and grubby from all the activities that lie within. Brilliant – I love it!” Bob Digby.

“A must have book for any adult wanting to grow their own well balanced child!” Huw James, Science Junkie.

“Bear Grylls meets Jamie with a hint of Guerrilla.” Bob Lang.

“Do you know a child that loves getting their hands dirty and playing with their food? Then this is the book for them! Packed with fun missions and guerrilla gardening, Mission:Explore Food will get children thinking more about where their food comes from. Right, I’m going to plant an ugly vegetable…” Ruth Hendry, Planet Science.

Next time you’re craving a snack that tastes of the sea but don’t have the luxury of acquiring fresh seafood, you could try this recipe from Christine Palmer’s Walking Back to Happiness.

Ingredients:
1 tin of Sardines
1 Avocado Pear
1 clove garlic
Salt

Drain the oil from the sardines and mash them with the avocado pear. Grate the garlic over the top and add salt to taste. Eat the result as a spread with carrot sticks if you’re feeling healthy and bread and butter if you’re feeling decadent.

Tom really wants to be an explorer. When Tom’s head isn’t in the clouds it’s in an atlas. He follows adventurers not footballers and his schooldays are spent dreaming about travelling from Tibet to Timbuktu. One day a private wish blurted out loud started his freewheeling adventure:

“I’m going to cycle around the world.”

His classmates laughed. No one believed him, least of all his teacher.

“The mountains will be too high!” “The deserts too hot!”

Everyone shouted their reasons why his dream was impossible.

But it was a funny thing: the more people told him he couldn’t do it, the more Tom found himself wanting to prove them wrong.

Ride along with Tom as he overcomes his fears and sets off on the first part of his biggest ever adventure: to try to become the boy who biked the world.

What some other explorers say about the author’s adventures:

“An incredible journey of mammoth proportions.” -Mark Beaumont

“Alastair’s journey stands out as amazing.” -Sir Randulph Fiennes

“Epic Journey.” -

Bear Grylls

Wondering what to get this Christmas for the person who has everything? Remember the children’s classic you read a thousand times when you were young?

What if Goodnight Moon was about saying goodbye to another Moon? Say goodnight to Keith, his drumsticks, his pile of sick, and more. Goodnight Keith Moon is a hilarious parody of the Margaret Wise Brown and Clement Hurd children’s classic Goodnight Moon, this book will appeal to fans of rock music and every parent who has read it to their children. Classic rock aficionados won’t get fooled, they’ll spot a busload of Who references, from the pinball game in the corner to the ghost of Cass Elliott.

Living up to our name at Can of Worms Goodnight Keith Moon is a Word of Mouth Press release: Books Worth Talking About – tell a Friend!

This is the word of mouth from The Huffington Press:

“Everyone’s favorite children’s book about a notorious drummer who died of a drug overdose. Wait, that’s not what it was about? eel, authors Bruce Worden and Clare Cross have updated the classic story to revolve around the death of The Who’s Keith Moon with hilarious results. Brimming with rock references.”
