Synopsis

A very funny take on the contortions a grandparent goes through to please a grandchild. When Oliver visits Grumpy, Grumpy twists himself into a funny position to amuse his grandson. `AGAIN!' shouts Oliver, so Grumpy does something even more extraordinary. `AGAIN!' comes the refrain. And Grumpy complies. Again and again and again, until he's twisted himself slightly too far ... With eye-watering yet hilarious detail, cartoonist Ralph Steadman captures the pain and delights of grandparenthood with merciless accuracy.

Media Reviews
Praise for Nextinction: Steadman's colourful, spiky illustrations of critically endangered birds ... a dazzling aviary of `nearly extinct' boids. Save them all and make the ink-spattered Steadboid very happy. * Saga *
Nextinction is something of a rarity: a truly original take on popular science. Love them or hate them, Ralph Steadman's vivid cartoons bring out the character of these endangered birds in a way that photography and other illustrations can't match. * BBC Focus *
