Book SynopsisFrom the creators of @verygaypaint, the immensely popular comedy design brand, A VERY GAY BOOK paints a cheeky and satirical portrait of the world where everything—from sports to science to soup—is gay.Trees are gay. It’s why their branches brush up against each other so softly. Right-handed people are gay because that’s the first hand you use when you do the Macarena. Left-handed people are also gay. Magnets. Palindromes. All gay.

That's the kooky premise behind the hilarious and immensely entertaining new book by joint authors Jenson Titus and Nic Scheppard. The artwork is just as hilarious as the text in this friend-sharing satirical opus of all things queer (or imagined to be). This is funny fluff meant to tickle the funny bone and inspire featherweight giggles at dinner parties."

As an added treat, there are comic-style instructions at the very back to encourage readers to produce their own boomic. Great fun for all.” – December Book of the Month in LoveReading4Kids “Minnie is just as much fun as she always was and young readers will love her anarchic behaviour – either alone, or with cousin Dennis – but the story is not all fun and games. When Minnie realises that her parents’ relationship is in trouble, she faces a future that is not what she anticipated – something that many young readers will empathise with and which is tackled very well here. Added into the mix to balance this out though are plenty of fart gags and some brilliant illustrations from Laura Howell to bring the plot to life wonderfully well, creating a great read for Year 3 upwards that will be just as popular in Year 6.” – World’s Smallest Library “It really is hilarious – and features the biggest prank in Bean-o history – but also balances sensitivity around parental separation. This particular story, along with Minnie’s aspirations around her artwork, adds another layer of depth to Minnie and her friends so bravo Beano for making these loveable characters more multi-faceted. A brilliant addition to the Beano world, you’ll love Minnie even more after this latest escapade!” – Check ‘Em Out Books
