The Ladybird Book of The Do-Gooder

The Ladybird Book of The Do-Gooder

Summary

THE PERFECT GIFT for the Do-Gooder in your life. (Don't you just hate them?)
_____

The do-gooder does all sorts of crazy things.

It can be something as easy as running a marathon, or as difficult as dressing up.

To make this eccentric behaviour seem less like a cry for help or the beginnings of a substantial personal crisis, the do-gooder does it for charity.
_____

Vernon has a job as a street fundraiser for the R.N.L.I.

He wears a high-visibility jacket, a high visibility and high visibility trousers.

Everybody on the street still pretends they cannot see him.
_____

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.
