With an affectionate lack of illusion and an honesty about her own shortcomings, Libby Purves examines the pleasures and pitfalls of raising children from three to eight year olds. The book tackles such topics as playgroup, starting school and rude words, with humour and down-to-earth advice.
Libby Purves is a journalist and author who has been writing for The Times since 1982. A previous columnist of the year and author of 12 novels and non-fiction books, she was for 40 years a BBC Radio 4 broadcaster after becoming the Today programme’s first woman and youngest presenter.
It is the most funny book I ever read about families with kids between the ages of 3-7. Good thing is that even mothers can grow with these books, there seems to be one for every stage of motherhood. I got at least three new ideas that I am implementing with my kids regarding holidays, sick days and siblings. I recommend reading this to every mother!
It's a fun read- a book I will have to return to when my kid(s) are a lot older and since the first isn't even born yet... I will keep it at the back of the shelf when I will def. need its advice as I won't remember it later!
Amusant et plein d'observations justes, toutefois il est fort possible que vous ayez déjà eu des expériences similaires si vous avez un ou plusieurs enfants.
