SIMON GETS SNEEZED by Adam Kay & Henry Paker
PAPERBACK
Author: Adam Kay
Illustrator: Henry Paker
From bestselling author and former doctor Adam Kay comes a brilliantly funny and slightly slimy picture book adventure that mixes laugh-out-loud humour with fascinating science.
Meet Simon - the hero of this story. But Simon isn’t a knight, explorer or superhero. Simon is a piece of snot.
Simon lives quite happily with his family inside the left nostril of a girl called Phoebe. Life is cosy and predictable until one day everything changes with a gigantic… sneeze! Suddenly Simon is launched into the outside world on a wild and unexpected journey.
Along the way, Simon discovers the important job that snot actually does inside our bodies - helping to trap germs, protect us from illness and keep us healthy. What begins as a chaotic and messy adventure turns into a surprising journey of self-discovery as Simon learns just how important he really is.
Packed with playful illustrations and Adam Kay’s trademark humour, this story manages to make science fun, accessible and delightfully gross in the best possible way.
Why you should treat-your-shelf:
- Hilarious and wonderfully silly storytelling
- Sneaky science facts about how our bodies work
- Encourages curiosity about biology and health
- Perfect for children who love funny, slightly gross humour
Simon Gets Sneezed is a brilliantly entertaining picture book that proves even the smallest - and slimiest - heroes can make a big difference.
