When young Kayden is told by his busy mother to use his headand think of something to do, he picks up his pencil to do a join-the-dots pagein his activity book, and ends up tumbling into a land where friendlyflamingoes welcome him with, We are never too busy for tea. We have books laidout for three.

Written in simple rhyming couplets that young children ofage four and above will enjoy reading aloud on their own, this whimsical andcharmingly-illustrated book follows Kayden and his flamingo friends up amountain and down under the sea, and then he’s off in a hot -air balloon…until Mum is ready to play with him once more

Use Your Head is also an interactive hybrid of an activitybook and a picture book, where readers have to join the dots just likeKayden! on certain pages to complete the picture. At its heart, the story isabout the power of the imagination being able to create worlds, and youngreaders are given the opportunity to experience that for themselves.
