Description

Barbara is in a very bad mood. She won’t admit it, but she is. She has a problem with a sock, and at lunchtime there’s a strange pea… And even though she’s at the park with her friends, it all just gets a bit much. Suddenly Barbara’s WOBBLER is out of control! But what if Barbara and her Wobbler can work together, so she can be cheerful again?Winner of the UKLA Award and shortlisted for the Oscar’s Book Prize and the FCBG Children’s Book Award, Barbara Throws A Wobbler is a brilliantly funny and sensitive way to understand and deal with tantrums. “These are the most brilliant, beautiful and silly picture-books out there at the moment. Little doorways of joy.” Caitlin Moran”This book is AMAZING. It will be a modern classic!” – Richard Osman

About The Author	Nadia Shireen enjoyed making homemade magazines and comics as a child. She studied law at university and then worked in magazine journalism; it was during this time that she started to draw again. After a lifetime of doodling in the sidelines, Nadia decided to pay some attention to drawing and in 2007 was accepted onto an MA course in Children's Book Illustration at Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge. Her debut book Good Little Wolf received a mention in the Bologna Ragazzi Opera Prima Award and won the UKLA Book Award. Nadia has been shortlisted for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize and the Waterstones Children's Book Prize. She lives in London.
Review Quote	The sensational Nadia Shireen returns with Barbara Throws a Wobbler, the hilarious story of a kitten, a sock problem, a strange pea – and a stupendous tantrum. Its guide to bad moods – from the huff to the seethe – is worth the cover price by itself; this is the sort of book that will make both children and adults laugh, and provide the perfect vocabulary to defuse (some) tense toddler situations.
Other text	Nadia Shireen's hilarious tale … With illustrations the colour of bright, shiny jelly beans and a witty text that culminates in a genius guide to bad moods, Shireen's latest gem ought to come on prescription.
