Art makes a difference!The same family that had such an enlightening experience in Anthony Browne's Zoo is now going to an art museum, Mom's choice for her birthday treat. But wisecracking Dad and their two sons are skeptical about how much fun this trip will be, and they're not quite sure what to make of the art. ("What on earth is that supposed to be?" asks Dad.) But, with Mom’s help, once the boys start really looking at the paintings, they begin to find what pleasures they contain. Most of the family leave with a new appreciation of art – Dad is just never going to get it – as well as a sketchbook. On the trip home, Mom teaches the boys – and readers – a drawing game, which one of her sons (this book’s author) has been playing ever since.This new book is the product of Anthony Browne's engagement as writer-and-illustrator-in-residence at the Tate Britain in London. There he worked with a thousand children from inner-city schools, teaching literature using the resources in the gallery – and playing the shape game. In his artwork for the book, he surreally transforms, in his signature style, some famous paintings in the Tate's collection.

Playing games and having sex can share similar dynamics. If you understand even a little about gaming, then you can begin to unravel the mysteries of sex and relationships. This book is written for young adults who are in their early years of sexual relationships, or who are thinking about becoming sexually active. This is not a book about the mechanics of sex, or how to find a partner. That information is available elsewhere. Sex involves a relationship with another person, for five minutes or fifty years. It is a cooperative game where you share a common goal: you work together with your partner so you both can win. This book contains advice from a loving auntie who worked at universities for 20 years. She hopes the wisdom she gained from those students can empower young adults to better understand the dynamics of sex. Nick Lawrence, WEEU Radio, Straight Talk, said: “[This] book should be required reading in every high school in the country.” Bonnie D. Graham aka Radio Red, Read My Lips Radio, commented: “Written in a beautiful way…a simple and friendly book…conversational and non-threatening style. This is a book about respecting yourself, about figuring out what you want, about being careful with your body and your emotions. Reminds me of a book of poetry. This is really good information.....Give in a gift pack to adults after a divorce who’ve been married a number of years and are re-entering the dating field…a good refresher course for them.”
