Publisher's Synopsis

The PERFECT GIFT for that superhero, saint, figure of worship or, if none of those apply, your plain dear old dad.

'Shawn has set up his own firework display in the garden.

"Those big displays are rubbish," he tells his son. "You can't see a thing."

When Shawn's son has seen the firework, they will go back indoors.

Fireworks are more expensive than Shawn expected.'

'"What does a hippopotamus eat, dad?' asks Philip

'Children who ask for stuff in the gift shop,' says his dad.

Being a dad is brilliant.'"
_______

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.

About the Publisher

Michael Joseph

The first ten paperback Penguin books appeared in 1935 costing 6d each (the price of a packet of cigarettes). Since then the Penguin list has developed enormously, but still aims to bring the best writing to the widest possible audience. Penguin Paperbacks now range from Booker Prize-winning contemporary authors, to mass market bestsellers, with successful history, biography and general non-fiction as well.
