Really Rotten Rhymes Based on the author's experiences as a teacher, as a parent, and as a big kid himself, these classic rhymes present the really rotten moments that children relish. These are rhymes that children, young and old, will enjoy repeating to themselves and to friends – they're rotten and they're slightly, but nicely, rude. The children love them, their grown-ups pretend to be less amused (but in secret they love them too!) €4.99

101 Reasons Why Cork is Better than Dublin

It’s time for a new take on the Cork vs Dublin rivalry. Cork is more kefir cocktails than Tanora these days; Dublin reckons it’s like Berlin because it has two intersecting tram lines.

This book takes a 21st century look at the two places, asking who’s got the better statues, food, airport, characters, pubs, views and more, answering Cork every time.

The second city gets a bit of a roasting too though. Because if there’s one thing worse than a Dub, it’s a Cork person who reckons he lives in paradise, boy.

101 Reasons Why Ireland Is Better Than England Tayto, the metric system, Aisling Bea, Luke ‘Ming’ Flanagan, Blindboy, Marian Keyes and we can never we never get embarrassed by unelected toffs and dodgy Royals – that’s just 8 of the 101 Reasons Why Ireland is Better than England. This tongue-in-cheek sweep across the two nations is aimed at Irish people, wherever they live, not to mention the 10 million English people who move over here after Brexit. With our neighbour losing its marbles, there has never been a better time to exact revenge for the two most despicable things that England has ever inflicted on the Irish – Jacob Rees-Mogg and claiming Saoirse Ronan is British. €7.99

No Sex No Sleep: So You're Going to be a Father 'No Sex, No Sleep' tells the unvarnished truth about fatherhood. Forget about magic moments and bonding, this is about puke, wet-wipes and enjoying the sex life of a hermit. Pat Fitzpatrick wants to tell new dads what they can expect in the first few years of their child's life, and give them a right good laugh along the way. The book is based on Fitzpatrick's popular 'Dad's View' column and covers everything from buggy shopping, the labour ward, naming your child, bringing them home and dealing with the in-laws, to later issues such as choosing a school, time-outs, toilet training and much more. Written in short, digestible chunks 'No Sex, No Sleep' can be picked up and put down as the mood takes you, and will make an ideal present for a first-time dad. It will also strike a note with any dad with small kids, or any mom out there who wants to know what their man is really thinking. Which is not much, other than I'd love to go to sleep for a month. €4.99

Written in Tara’s distinctive voice – conversational, witty and easy to read – we are guided through many of today’s major issues, be it Emperor Trump, Brexit, an imaginary bunker for the impending apocalypse, trolls, being a Feminazi, or how pastels are actually THE WORST. With humour and empathy – as well as the occasional bout of rage – Tara Flynn tackles modern life and wonders whether anger is really the best way to survive it. €4.99

The Trueish History of Ireland Did you ever think there was something funny about Irish history? Turns out you were right. As the centenary of 1916 approaches, 'The True(ish) History of Ireland' reveals the funny side of Ireland's story. Using hearsay, rumour and some brilliant cartoons, writer Garvan Grant and cartoonist Gerard Crowley have created an (almost) factual look at the birth, childhood and adolescence of the nearly mature nation. Get to the very heart of what it means to be a True Gael by taking a look at the accidental invention of poitín by St Patrick, the conquest of the country by some evil, yet rather posh English people and the discovery of the legendary Everlasting Pint in a cave in east Galway. Right up to yesterday evening, when the Irish were hard at work trying to create another never-ending economic boom, it sums up the joyous, glorious and often hilarious experience of being Irish. €7.99
