People hunting monkeys in the jungle once devised a simple yet effective trap: When the creature found a banana in a large jar with a narrow neck, it would plunge its paw in to retrieve it. But it couldn't let go. And unless the monkey released the banana, it was stuck. We are, of course, the stuck monkey, paralysed by our modern lifestyles and consumer habits: our constant stream of online shopping deliveries, our compulsive dependence on digital devices, our obsession with our pets. These addictions, as small and harmless as they may seem, are quietly destroying the planet. And the eco-friendly alternatives that alleviate our guilt are often not much better. In Stuck Monkey, James Hamilton-Paterson uncovers the truth behind the everyday habits fuelling the climate crisis. Drawing on eye-opening research and shocking statistics, he mercilessly dissects a wide spectrum of modern life: pets, gardening, sports, vehicles, fashion, wellness, holidays, and more. Ferociously unflinching and intelligent, this book will make you think twice about the 'innocent' habits we often take for granted.

From the illustrator of the #1 smash The Day the Crayons Quit comes another bestseller--a giggle-inducing tale of everything tossed, thrown, and hurled in order to free a kite! When Floyd's kite gets stuck in a tree, he's determined to get it out. But how? Well, by knocking it down with his shoe, of course. But strangely enough, it too gets stuck. And the only logical course of action . . . is to throw his other shoe. Only now it's stuck! Surely there must be something he can use to get his kite unstuck. An orangutan? A boat? His front door? Yes, yes, and yes. And that's only the beginning. Stuck is Oliver Jeffers' most absurdly funny story since The Incredible Book-Eating Boy. Childlike in concept and vibrantly illustrated as only Oliver Jeffers could, here is a picture book worth rescuing from any tree.

Monkey Flip-Flop has an important job. As a flip-flop (decorated with monkey faces), he must protect Lauras feet from hot pavement and sharp stones during warm weather. Every summer, he goes on adventures with Laura, and this time theyre going to the Chesapeake Bay- how exciting! While there, he and Laura slosh through the grass and run up and down rickety old steps. But when Laura is resting on the edge of the dock, Monkey Flip-Flop falls off into the water, and neither Laura nor her grandpa can reach him. All night long, he floats alone, encountering fish and beetles and birds and wondering what will happen to him. Even worse is the thought that he might have become unwanted and discarded trash in the bay. How will he ever get home to Laura? In this environmentally conscious childrens story, a lost flip-flop learns about the wildlife in the Chesapeake Bay and about the dangers of littering as he finds his way back to his owner.

Folk-stories, myths and tales of old have always existed in many different cultures. Each of the folk tales from the For East tales a different story; each brings a moral tale to life and gives a short lesson to be learnt. There are beast fables, in which animals speak and otherwise act as men in order to drive home the prospect of morality or worldly wisdom.
