The team at McSweeney’s have combined their extensive talents for their latest publication, which is a book of puzzles, games, comics and all manner of fun facts. Strictly speaking, this is not just for kids – adults will find themselves similarly engrossed – but many of the contributors are better known in the world of children’s books. Jon Klassen, Mo Willems and Jon Scieszka are just a few of the contributors. Starting to get the picture?

This is not your standard activity book, oh no! It’s busy, hilarious and offers hours of fun and brain teasing. If you buy one kids’ activity book this summer, make it this totally cool and startlingly weird one. As the editors urge, sharpen your eyeballs and peel your pencils, The Goods is here.

For ages 7 and up.
