Book Review – ‘How it works’ The Mum By J. A. Hazeley & J. P. Morris

Something a little different…

So as normal we begin with the Goodreads blurb

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. The subject of the book will greatly appeal to grown-ups.

Now let’s be honest this book took about 15 minutes to read. It would have been quicker but I had to keep stopping because I was laughing so much. This series was designed to mimic the books we grew up reading as children but with adult themes. They are a little bit of frivolous fun, not really something you can review for it’s literary merits, however I am going to give this a rating based solely on the nostalgia value.

I can only give this book one score for making me smile so much and giving me a giggle, a five out of five for a book that reminds you how much better learning to read was when Ladybird rules the world.
