Overview

Take a look into the magical world of the under-fives and what do you see? A disgruntled nursery child threatening to have you killed? An inspired four-year-old decorating the inside of a toilet cubicle with their own 'natural resources'? A tenacious toddler preventing others from playing because If they ain't on the list they ain't comin' in. ? Well, for hapless early years teacher Mr King, it's all in a day's work. Join him on an entertaining trip down memory lane as he shares anecdotes, ramblings, illustrations and photos on all manner of subjects - from 'weed-filled' birthday cakes to infuriating phonics, and everything in-between. Experience the verbal gems of IS THIS CONVERSATION REALLY HAPPENING?, cringe-worthy TOILET TRAUMA, maddening HEAD ON TABLE MOMENTS, 'questionable' parenting in THE INFLUENCE OF ADULTS and a more serious and sobering look at the surprising prevalence of early racism and sexism in NIPPING IT IN THE BUD. Not to mention a shameless roasting of THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF BOOKS, the delicate subject matter of WE'VE All GOT ONE, and an old nemesis in THE ODD CHILD, plus much more... You'll never look upon the world of the early years quite the same again...!

Author Information

Ryan King has worked in the early years sector for the best part of a decade, plying his trade across local authorities, NHS, Sure Start, private childcare providers and over 30 primary schools. He enjoys recording his rather unique and immature observations and ramblings on all things early years through the medium of books, accompanied by a rather unflattering cartoon version of himself that often provides dry and sarcastic comments! Now working at a school in Nottingham, Ryan continues to learn from, and be entertained by, the wonderful world of the under fives.
