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
