H is for Hummus: A Modern Parent's ABC

An ABC not for toddlers but rather for their beleaguered mums and dads, this hilariously askew book looks at the realities of modern parenting by illustrating pertinent vocabulary words. A is for au pair and active birthing, B is for baby carrier and babyproofing, C is for carrot sticks and controlled crying, all the way to Z, for Zumba and the zzzz's of exhausted parents. The book has a decidedly British slant, but the pithy humor and droll cartoon illustrations are universal.

"If your life has gone from being a well-oiled machine to a nappy, hummus, and crayon-covered monster, this book is for you. I love H Is for Hummus—a joyous and tastefully disrespectful parenting manual."—MumsInTheKnow.co.uk
