The Owner's Manual to Terrible Parenting

About this book

Guy Delisle knows all the worst parenting techniques Guy Delisle the author of Jerusalem: Chronicles from the Holy City and A Users Guide to Neglectful Parenting shares hilarious new comic strips that pay tribute to all the ways parents can drive their kids crazy and vice versa in The Owners Manual to Terrible Parenting. Slipping grammar lessons into bedtime stories being challenged by difficult toys and pretending to forget you even have a son: its all in a days work for Delisle. In The Owners Manual Delisle doesnt hesitate to make a slightly bumbling fictionalized version of himself the butt of the joke though his children often contribute zingy repartee and laugh-out-loud insight in the stories on display here. The Owners Manual is the perfect antidote to frustrating car rides filled with "Are we there yet?" and epic battles over homework. Delisles effortless pacing and witty punch lines reign supreme here making each vignette zip along to its conclusion.
