Barry the Butter Blob is facing an existential crisis. Although he has everything he could possibly want (including a brand new BLINGING butter tray) he still feels unsatisfied with his life. He is also dogged with persistent fears about breakfast time and often has nightmares about warm toast. In an attempt to alleviate his boredom he goes thrill seeking outside of the fridge. But after a few precarious encounters with dangerous kitchen appliances he gets tired of fooling around and goes back to his butter tray to chill out. After a little while of sitting there alone he starts to meditate to look for the real blob within.....Then something WONDERFUL happens ...
From the Author
Who are these books for? Target Audience: 1-100! These books address questions that we are confronted with in our adult lives: Why are we here? Where do we belong? How do we cope with life and death? These important issues are addressed in a humorous lighthearted manner through a quirky array of kitsch characters. In all my books the characters overcome a particular challenge and in the process, discover something fundamental about themselves. My writing is influenced by Hermann Hesse, Carl Jung and Calvin and Hobbes.
