Max and the Lost Note by Graham Marsh

Posted on | Leave a comment

Max

Mod-related kids books, who'd have thought? But there is such a thing, or at least there's Max and the Lost Note by Graham Marsh.

Pitched as the kids' book that adults would read, this 32-page hardback book is the work of Graham Marsh, the man behind The Cover Art of Blue Note Records. He's still ploughing a similar furrow too, this time with Max, a sharp dresser, piano player and Vespa rider, who hangs out in Kitty's Place searching for a 'note', aided by singing group The Felines and Long Tall Dexter, Double Bass Sam, and lots more feline musicians.

So don't expect War and Peace, but if you want a hip children's read, this one is available via publisher Frances Lincoln and of course from Amazon from 1st October, priced at £10.79.

Everywhere you turn right now, you'll see something from the Beatles – from the Beatles Rock Band game to the Beatles In Mono CD box set (and the mass of Beatles-related shows on film and TV). Children haven't been forgotten either – with Green Eyed Monster introducing a range of fully licensed Yellow Submarine t-shirts for kids.

They're very eye-catching too, with the organic jerseys coming with Beatles Pop!, Pulse! and Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds designs, along with (of course) the submarine itself.

Long and shirt-sleeved tops available, with prices around the £17 mark. Check out another of the designs over the page.

Robot cabinet from Barnvanligt

Robot storage

Tidying never looked so appealing as when it offered the opportunity to play with this cool Robot cabinet from Swedish company Barnvanligt. Their website is crammed full of great designs for kids. 

Though they do deliver within the EU, their website is all in Swedish. Nevertheless, armed with Google language tools, I've managed to work out that it's made from white lacquer MDF (though a light blue option is also available) and contains three separate sections, each with their own door. Fantastically, the arms are also adjustable. The obvious place for this little creature is a kid's bedroom but as it's so appealing, I quite fancy it for myself!

“Children Unite” Poster

Posted on | Leave a comment

Children’s design doesn’t have to mean fluffy bunnies in pastel colours, and nobody recognises that more than the company Our Children’s Gorilla. Amongst their unusual and often bizarre designs, is this particular gem, “Children Unite” Poster.

Quite obviously based on revolutionary posters from the 1960s, the poster makes a bold statement. Whilst your child may not recognise the reference, they may well appreciate the rebellious sentiment.

The poster costs £17 directly from Our Children’s Gorilla.
