eBook
(Globe Publications Limited, Nov. 21, 2010)
The story looks at the world through the eyes of a four-year-old child, NEONONCKLE, written on his behalf by his grandfather, DADA; four year olds are not renowned for writing books, from conception up until four years of age. AA funny, bizarre, humorous entertaining story, if you want to be uplifted, laugh for days afterwards, read Neononckle's own story told his way. Children see the world differently to adults and the story captures the young mind. His experiences, many funny, a lot off the scale, some sad, all exciting. He describes his mother breathing, her pregnancy fads. The trauma before his birth when he realises he's to be born just before Christmas - losing out bid time on toys. His delivery - a big scary world - as he slides out and away from the only home he'd know from the time of his conception: still, out he comes like an Olympic skier--from bag to birth to breast--first cry, first poo. The warmth when held by his mother, father patiently waiting by the bedside. Potty training, adult placating exercises--the palaver when he uses his pot. His ingenious plan to own fire, thwarted, "his tub-bin, his contraption, his Pain" His first nursery experience, the changing seasons; how he understands life's experiences, written as if he, Neononckle, is writing the book--the way of the child. The story is fun to read, and yet, the reader will see a part of him or herself in the story - a laugh from start to finish.ISBN 978-145836149Globe Publications Limited
