"This wonderfully wacky work celebrates silliness, creativity, and thinking way outside the box through hundreds of hilariously outlandish activities."
No one can deny that Harry Hill’s writing style and brilliantly absurd outlook is eminently attuned to younger members of his audience, as embodied by How to Be Silly Every Day of the Year, a nugget of 366 nutty activities that’ll keep 7+year-olds entertained for an entire year, with the 366th entry thoughtfully included to cover leap years.
Featuring illustrations and doodles by the huge-collared man himself, the silliness begins with an all-important self-assessment, preparing readers for their personal journey to finding success at being silly. By day eight, silliness-seekers will be coming up with their own silly book ideas, followed by inventing silly slang, holding a snail race, making their own Top Trumps cards, and creating messages in cress, to name but a few examples.
On a serious note, How to Be Silly Every Day of the Year shares a VERY SERIOUS philosophy! Namely, the transformative power of creativity — in Harry’s words, “including a bit more silly in your life often involves thinking in a more creative way, not always taking the obvious route and thinking outside of the box…if you can think slightly differently to other people and see opportunities where others might not, you could very well be one of life’s winners”. Hear, hear to that, Harry!
