Never Use a Knife and Fork

Hide spaghetti in your hair,
Keep crisps in your underwear.

Never Use a Knife and Fork is an outrageous, tongue-in-cheek exploration of mealtime chaos that will have children in stitches. Full of mischief and mess, it shows exactly what you SHOULDN’T do with food — squish it, slosh it, squirt it, squeeze it!

Rollicking rhymes combine perfectly with Nick Sharratt’s trademark witty illustrations for a laugh-out-loud look at table manners.
