<p><i>'A</i><b><i> tremendous, mighty ripper</i></b><i> of a book. Contains kicks, laughs, hugs and a meteoric fart.</i><b><i> Children will love it!' </i>Jim Field, illustrator of <i>Oi Frog</i> and <i>The Lion Inside</i><br><br></b><i>'Has <b>genuine warmth and depth</b>, wonderfully supported by <b>hilarious</b> illustrations. <b>Children will adore it . . .</b> and adults can be reassured by the <b>brilliantly positive conclusion</b>. </i><b><i>A classic in the making.' </i>Vivian French, author of <i>Yucky Worms</i><br><br>BESTSELLING, AWARD-WINNING DUO, Gough and Collins, create pure picture-book perfection in this hilarious, whip-smart story about a circle of violence and how it finally gets broken.<br><br></b>In a moment of fury, induced by a piece of stolen cake, Tad kicks his best friend Vlad and runs away to hide.<br><br>Unable to retaliate, but similarly feeling rather cross, Vlad kicks Tad’s mum who kicks the postman, who kicks a policewoman who kicks a politician . . . Until the kick travels around the whole world! Only to land back up at Tad's birthday party a year on . . .<br><br>And then there’s something WORSE than a kick in circulation. Oh, WHAT could be worse than a kick up the bum?<br><br>It's up to Tad to wrestle with his anger and to break the cycle and send something better off round the world.<br><br><b>Laugh-out-loud funny, with so many moments of shock and glee, this is the perfect teaching tool for any child who has ever had an outburst! For fans of<i> I Want My Hat Back</i>, <i>I Really Want to Eat a Child</i> and <i>Not Now Bernard</i>.</b></p>
