About Help! I Think My Baby Brother is Henry the Eighth!
How would you feel if, all of a sudden, your baby brother started to act just like King Henry the Eighth? This is what happens to a very ordinary boy called Arthur. Arthur enjoys his completely normal life. But then his life is dramatically turned upside down when his baby brother begins appears to be the loud, demanding monarch, asking for lamb shanks, riding the family dog like a horse and making Arthur's life a misery. Told completely in verse (with the occasional aside from the poet to clear the odd thing up) From the author of The Haunted Underpants and originally heard on the acclaimed kids show Double Dip Recess on WFMU radio, Help! I Think My Baby Brother is Henry the Eighth is a fantastical, very, very, silly story of Arthur and Henry and how he comes to terms with the fact that, yes, his brother really does seem to be a tiny king in baby form.(Artwork: Rob Flowers: https://www.instagram.com/hellorobflowers/)
