Description

The night Dad had a few cheeky ones after work, forgot the milk and tripped over the rubbish, Mum called him A Wild Thing and said Don't mind me and spent the rest of the night on the phone . . .

In this hilarious, touching homage to Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are, a tired and emotional dad finds himself drifting off to the place where the Wild Dads went. 'Now PARTYYYYYYYYYY ' he said. In a riot of headbanging, air guitar and table football he finds himself at the centre of a great escape, but pretty soon he begins to miss the place he left behind . . .

Lovingly illustrated by the award-winning Sholto Walker, this little book is the perfect gift for new dads - or any parent who's ever wanted to run away from it all.

About the Author

Katie Blackburn lives in London with her husband and 18 month old son. Where the Wild Moms Are was written in tribute to Maurice Sendak's: Where the Wild Things Are, Katie's favorite children's book. It was partly inspired by too many sleepless nights and wild days spent with a young baby.
