Bestselling, award-winning duo Julian Gough and Ross Collins create pure picture-book perfection in this hilarious story about breaking the circle of violence.
In a moment of fury, induced by a piece of stolen cake, Tad kicks his best friend Vlad and runs away to hide. Unable to retaliate, but similarly feeling rather angry, Vlad kicks Tad's mom who kicks the mailman, who kicks a policewoman who kicks a politician . . . Until the kick travels around the whole world! Only to land back up at Tad's birthday party a year on... And then there's something WORSE than a kick in circulation. Oh, WHAT could be worse than a kick in the butt? It's up to Tad to wrestle with his anger and to break the cycle and send something better off round the world. Laugh-out-loud funny, with so many moments of shock and glee, this is the perfect teaching tool for any child who has ever had an outburst! For fans of I Want My Hat Back, I Really Want to Eat a Child and Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.
