David Baddiel has written and performed in a series of highly successful TV comedy shows, including The Mary Whitehouse Experience and Baddiel and Skinner Unplanned. He is the author of three previous novels for adults, but The Parent Agency is his first book for children. Baddiel became a cabaret stand-up comedian after leaving university and also wrote sketches and jokes for various radio series. His first television appearance came in a bit-part on one episode of the showbiz satire, Filthy, Rich and Catflap. In 1988, he was introduced to Rob Newman, a comic impressionist, and the two became a writing partnership. They were subsequently paired up with the partnership of Steve Punt and Hugh Dennis for a new topical comedy show for BBC Radio 1 called The Mary Whitehouse Experience, and its success led to a transfer to television, shooting Baddiel to fame. Follow young boy Kûn on a journey of the imagination through history and evolution as he pictures what life was like when dinosaurs lived, what the world was like when the moon was formed and how that event connects him to Solveig, a girl living on the other side of the planet. Awe-inspiring and thought-provoking, this stunningly illustrated companion to The Rhythm of the Rain and Wild is the Wind is a magical and memorable picture book. It’s an ideal text to provoke discussion in book groups and prompt creative ideas for writing clubs in KS2. He has written four novels: Time for Bed, Whatever Love Means, The Secret Purposes and The Death of Eli Gold.

I am a parent and wanted to listen to it before buying the book for my children. I always hate when children’s Christmas books/films spoil the ‘magic’ of Christmas and this one did not spoil it so I’m happy.
