Ladybirds for Grown-Ups

I was in the bookshop when I stumbled on this series by accident. I enjoyed them so much that I had to share...

Ladybird Books for Grown-Ups


This delightful book is the latest in the series of Ladybird books which have been specially planned to help grown-ups with the world about them. The large clear script, the careful choice of words, the frequent repetition and the thoughtful matching of text with pictures all enable grown-ups to think they have taught themselves to cope. Featuring original Ladybird artwork alongside brilliantly funny, brand new text.
Written in the style of Ladybird books for children, these books look exactly like the old Peter and Jane books we all learned to read when we were growing up. They're short and sweet and hilariously funny with tongue-in-cheek humour. I laughed so hard, I cried. These are a few sneak peeks into the books that will show you exactly what I mean...

Classic Lines from the Kids

Found these oldies from way back when the boys were still only little... The one bout the shoes I was trying to help G1 understand what it feel like to be the other person. Me: You have to put yourself in their shoes and try to understand what it must feel like. What would you do? G1: I would take my shoes back. Where's my drink? G1 was attending the cooking class at Marche. The doorman was teasing him about the drink bottle in his hand. Doorman: Where's my drink? G1: At the supermarket. Old and New G1: Aunty L gave me this. BK: She's Granny L to you, G1. G1: Why? Me: You need to call her Granny L because it is a sign of respect. She's a lot older than you. G1: She's older than me? Me: Yes. G1: Am I new? Where are your manners? Daddy: Where are your manners, G1? G1: I left them at school. The gentleman's toilet G2 needed the toilet.
