No More Homework

When young Gio catapults his maths homework into space, he doesn't expect an alien squid to come knocking on his door demanding more.

It's a perfectly ordinary evening until Gio stares at his worksheet and decides he's had enough. He builds a brilliant contraption, loads up his long division, and launches it into the cosmos with a satisfying twang. No more spelling! No more fractions! Freedom at last — until a homework-loving space-squid intercepts the pages, declares them "sublime," and lands a colossal silver spaceship in Gio's back garden, crushing the wheelie bins flat. Now Gio must scribble sums at staggering speed to stop the tentacled visitor from eradicating every last piece of maths on Earth.

Perfect for toddlers and early readers (ages 2–6), No More Homework is a beautifully illustrated picture book about a boy who discovers that running from your responsibilities can launch problems far bigger than long division.

Kids and parents will love:

A Hilariously Dramatic Hero: Gio is theatrical, inventive, and completely unprepared for the consequences of his brilliant plan — children will love his over-the-top reactions and root for him as he scrambles to fix his mess.

Bouncy, Rhythmic Rhymes: Lively couplets on every page that are a joy to read aloud and help build early language and listening skills.

An Absurd Sci-Fi Adventure: A homework catapult, an alien squid who loves fractions, and a backyard spaceship landing — the story takes a universal childhood complaint and launches it into gleefully ridiculous territory.

Wonderful Vocabulary: Words like "eradicate," "colossal," "precision," and "proverbial" are woven naturally into the rhymes, stretching young listeners' language in a playful way.
