This is my dad.

It was his idea to take us all camping – including my little brother, Cheese (he’s the one with the famous bottom).

But it was my little sister, Tomato, who started all the trouble – with a carrot called Cecily Sprout…

 

once worked in a bakery, putting the jam into three thousand doughnuts every night. Now he puts the jam in stories instead, which he finds much more exciting. At the age of three, he fell out of a first-floor bedroom window and landed on his head. His mother says that this damaged him for the rest of his life and refuses to take any responsibility. He loves writing stories because he says it is ‘the only time you alone have complete control and can make anything happen’. His ambition is to make you laugh (or at least snuffle). Jeremy Strong lives near Bath with three cats and a flying cow.

This is the sixth book Jeremy Strong has
written about Nicholas and his family.

The first five books, in reading order, are:

MY DAD’S GOT AN ALLIGATOR!
MY GRANNY’S GREAT ESCAPE
MY MUM’S GOING TO EXPLODE!
MY BROTHER’S FAMOUS BOTTOM
MY BROTHER’S FAMOUS BOTTOM GETS PINCHED

1 Captain Birdseye and Cecily Sprout!

My sister’s got a pet carrot. She has, really – a proper carroty carrot. It has green hair and she dresses it in Barbie doll clothes. My sister calls it Cecily Sprout.

‘Because my friend at nursery is called Cecily,’ she told Mum and me.
