Fireworks are more expensive than Shawn expected.´

´Children who ask for stuff in the gift shop,´ says his dad.

Being a dad is brilliant.´"

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.

´Hilarious´ Stylist
