Knick-Knack Paddywhack
This old manHe plays one...That makes reading lots of fun...
A favorite children's song gets bright new art that captures all its "knick-knack, paddywhack, give a dog a bone" rhythm and rhyme. Every child loves This Old Man. Every child sings it, at home and at school, and uses it to learn to count to 10. Emily Bolam's lively art will add to kids' pleasure, conveying every drop of the cumulative and entertaining antics. In a unique twist, the pictures show the amusing interaction between a father and son, as the dad drives the child crazy making knick-knack noises as he bangs on a drum, a treehouse, and even the boy's knees. The pictures will have kids laughing, and the familiar words will have them chorusing in joy. .

Knick Knack Paddy Whack: A Novel
A surprise best-seller in Britain, this outrageous, weirdly funny first novel will appeal to fans of Paddy Clark Ha Ha Ha. Not since Holden Caulfield in The Catcher in the Rye has literature seen a young man with as much contempt for hypocrisy and phoniness as Patrick Scully, the narrator of this brilliantly observed tale of a nineteen-year-old's frustrations and dreams. Stuck in a dead- job in Dublin, while his friends pursue useless degrees at the university, Patrick escapes for a week to his hometown of Killeeny, a few hours' bus ride from Dublin. There he hooks up with his childhood chum, Balls O'Reilly, and his on-again, off-again girlfriend, Francesca, who, as we learn in chapters from her diary, is more interested in Balls than she'd want anyone, especially Patrick, to know. What follows is a rollicking week of carousing, drinking, and depravity, all seen through Patrick's searing and unforgiving eyes. Laced with hilarious small-town insight, this gripping first novel builds to a shocking climax as Patrick's insight into the duplicity of his so-called friends becomes more than he can bear. .
