Get super brainy with zero effort thanks to Waldo Pancake - who wrote and illustrated all the mega keel Barry Loser books.
Why is misspelling stuff a sign of grate intelly-genz?
What have the hours in the day got to do with FINGER BONES?
Why does rain on a pavement smell so delish?
Zany and laugh out loud bonkers, this graphic novel of large and small facts, is The Best, and that's official! You'll want to quote from it, repeat the gags, and reread it again and again. Plus Waldo Pancake shows you how to draw stuff, as well as learning you to be the biggest genius ever . . .
Jim Smith is The most boringly-named graphic novelist in the world. That's why he calls himself Waldo Pancake.
When he was a kid, Jim collected coke cans. Now he's grown up, he draws on paper cups and sugar sachets for a coffee shop chain called Puccino's. He also writes the Barry Loser kids' books which have sold over 850,000 copies and won him the Roald Dahl Funny Prize and the Laugh Out Loud Book Award. In his spare time, Jim makes little birds out of bits and pieces he finds in skips.
After graduating with a first class degree in advertising, graphic design and illustration in 1997, Jim Smith was spotted by the owner of a small coffee shop chain and brought in to fill the walls of their flagship store with his paintings. It was a three month contract; over twenty years years later, Jim is head of design at Puccino's Worldwide Ltd, now an international coffee shop franchise with stores across the world.
