It's tough getting children to sit down and practice handwriting, especially if they are just starting out. So we asked ourselves: What would make it fun? Is there even such a thing as fun cursive handwriting? And the answer was obvious: Farts. So we put together an A to Z of the silliest, craziest, kids-will-find-it-funny-even-if-the-parents-don't, sentences, added in some blank practice paper and voila. Just so we are clear, it's not actually rude! The rude words included are: fart, poo, bum, butt, bottom, burp, blow off, bogey, doodoo, dropping, dung, plop, kaka, nappy, toenail, wee. Please use the 'Search inside' function to have a look before you buy. There are no other handwriting practice books like this! Book contains> 93 pages of high quality, A4 paper.

Languages : en
Pages : 245
Book Description
“You remember Eat, Pray, Love and Under the Tuscan Sun? Yeah, this really isn’t like those. It’s better” (San Francisco Chronicle). Most people want out of North Korea. Wendy Simmons wanted in. In My Holiday in North Korea: The Funniest/Worst Place on Earth, Wendy shares a glimpse of North Korea as it’s never been seen before. Even though it’s the scariest place on Earth, somehow Wendy forgot to check her sense of humor at the border. But Wendy’s initial amusement and bewilderment soon turned to frustration and growing paranoia. Before long, she learned the essential conundrum of “tourism” in North Korea: Travel is truly a love affair. But, just like love, it’s a two-way street. And North Korea deprives you of all this. They want you to fall in love with the singular vision of the country they’re willing to show you and nothing more. Through poignant, laugh-out-loud essays and ninety-two never-before-published color photographs of North Korea, Wendy chronicles one of the strangest vacations ever. Along the way, she bares all while undergoing an inner journey as convoluted as the country itself. “Much of the humor and poignancy comes from the absurdity of a fun-loving free spirit taking a vacation that’s more rigidly scripted and controlled than a presidential motorcade . . . Simmons’ photos—including an eerie image of a classroom full of schoolgirls playing accordions—further illustrate the bizarre nature of a country that, whether for good or bad, has been carefully controlled for generations.” —San Francisco Chronicle “An irresistible read . . . A rare and fascinating look at the tourist’s North Korea in a work that is humorous, appalling, and very sad. A highly recommended and revealing glimpse into a secretive land.” —Library Journal
