Dinner Sorted! is a board book for young readers (and their parents) by Australian comedian, Jimmy Rees. Dad cooks dinner while mum tidies up and takes care of washing hands. Dad serves up his masterpiece (“I didn’t use a single vegetable”) although the kitchen is in the state that will resonate with long-suffering wives of creative cooks; the martini glass, a nod to Rees’s other persona. Mum ends up wearing food on each outfit she changes into; the twins wear quite a bit too. Lenny finds lots of excuses not to eat, and the twins agree each and every time. Bribes ensue.
It’s a cute tale that is not just enhanced by Briony Stewart’s clever and quirky illustrations, but which really tell the story. The detail on every page welcomes close scrutiny. Dad, Lenny and the baby twins are beavers; Mum is a duck; the pet is an iguana who bears watching for what it gets up to on each page (did it just reproduce in the laundry basket?); the noticeboard will be familiar to anyone with children. The cook-book titles and authors will amuse. The front inside cover is filled with lots of Lennys avoiding eating, the back, with the twins in various eating poses. Quite delightful!

Funny, chaotic and some crazy dinnertime drama.
Oh my, those kids... cheers me up no end that I had only one child. LOL.

I don't have kids but I imagine dinner is like this every night in many households across the world!

It is so weird. I am obviously not the target audience though.
