cork on the ocean

I have just been looking at the new clever bastards (over at clever bastards) & saw the Cork on the Ocean book by Mark & Rowan Sommerset - I love this book!! The story & illustrations are totally cool. 

I do have one question though... can I buy this book, or at 26 am I too old??!!

'Somewhere between the blue and the green,

Further than far can be,

A little brown cork was riding the wind,

Cork on the Ocean follows the remarkable adventures of a little cork as it surfs the high seas. After riding a sea horse, evading a shark & befriending an exhausted butterfly, Cork meets a wise old whale who shares the secret of staying afloat.'

Bobbing along on the sea.

Best known for her bangles, Lindsay's work evolved through a fascination with the simple domestic ritual of making a cup of tea, leading her to explore & experiment jewellery making with the humble, salvation army rescued, teacup.
