How It Works: The Mum

How It Works: The Mum

Summary

The PERFECT GIFT for Mum would be to let her take the day off while you do everything for her. Why not get her this book instead?

-----

This is mum.

A mum has two very important jobs to do. One is to look after her children.

The other is to do everything else as well.

-----

Now Lyndsay's little boy is at nursery, she is looking for a job.

At this interview, the lady asks Lyndsay all sorts of questions, which Lyndsay has trouble answering because she has the Octonauts theme going round her head.

Lyndsay hopes she is not singing out loud.

-----

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.

Reviews
