How it Works: The Baby (Ladybird for Grown-Ups)

Summary

THE PERFECT GIFT for those deluded fools who are expecting a little miracle . . .

Allyce is taking Rainbeau to a local mother-and-baby group. It takes her forty five minutes to pack the bag with the change mat, nappies, wipes, nappy bags Sudocrem, milk, muslins, teething powders, rice cakes, bibs, Calpol, spare clothes, dummy, first aid kit, Mr Bun-Bun and hand gel.

The playgroup is two minutes away.

The hospital follows Jasmine's birth plan so she can have a drug-free delivery.

'I am glad it was all natural,' shouts Jasmine over the hissing and beeping and clanking and the hum of the lights.


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.
