BUYING THIS BOOK SUPPORTS THE BIG ISSUE FOUNDATION
Illustrated by the award-winning Sholto Walker, this is the hilarious sequel to Where the Wild Mums Are . . . because hardworking dads still have a wild side!
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 dad dancing and air guitar, he is at the centre of a great escape, but pretty soon he begins to miss the place he left behind . . .
