Cautionary Tales by James Landale
Meet Gloria, a young shopaholic who learns the value of money the hard way (Moral: "If you shop until you drop / One day the trust fund will stop"); or Jonathan, who picks more than his nose (Moral: "Orificial exploration / Is but good in moderation"). In the tradition of Hilaire Belloc, James Landale presents a gallery of awful children doing beastly, but very modern things. The perils of video games, text messaging and retail therapy are all laid before the reader, with appropriately unsettling illustrations.
"This rich territory is mined by Landale with great brio, and shrewd selection" The Times "A remarkable achievement" Sunday Telegraph"
