|title=Big Nate: Laugh-O-Rama (Big Nate Activity Book 4)
|rating=4.5
|genre=Children's Non-Fiction
|summary=This seems to be a firmly established publishing practise now – the enhanced readership experience offered to fans of a franchise by a tie-in activity book. This is yet another example – looking like a genuine entry in an on-going series, it instead offers the fan of the characters the chance to interact with them in new ways, as well as looking back through the shelves of their collection, and inwardly as well, at their own thoughts and tastes. Note I say it's for a fan – this example will alienate anyone else from the first page – but for the right audience it’s generally a good thing. And in this instance it's a very, very good thing indeed.

|summary=Post apocaplyptic depictions of earth are common place in Science Fiction - the wonderful (if hugely depressing) ''The Road'' by Cormac McCarthy, The ''MaddAdam'' trilogy by Margaret Atwood (although I believe Ms Atwood would be rather rankled to hear her books described as 'Science Fiction'), and the recent ''Station Eleven'' by Emily St. John Mandel are just a small drop in the very deep ocean of post apocalyptic books.
