As we prepare to wave the President out of the White House,
commemorate the past four years with this charming introduction to
his very important life and his many, many friends - the perfect
stocking filler this Christmas. _________ 'When Donald won the
election, he did not believe it. "This election was a bad, unfair
election," said Donald, about the election that he won. One day,
Donald might lose an election. He will not like that election at
all. And when Donald is told it is time to stop being the
President, who knows what exciting things will happen next?'
_________ 'Anyone can grow up to become the President. Or they can
become President first and think about growing up later.' _________
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. Something the President himself could do with. 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. Praise for The Story of Brexit: 'Hilarious' Stylist
'One of the Best Comedy Books of 2018' The List 'The latest
offering in the hilarious Ladybird for Grown Ups series is a funny
mickey-take of the Brexit debate (and boy, do we need some fun)'

Did you ever wonder what would happen if a librarian joined a
pirate crew? We never did either. But that didn't stop us from
writing a very funny play about it. If you think that "Citizen
Kane" is still the best movie ever made, then you are in good
company and maybe you can get them to read this play also, even
though this is non sequitur.
Few people would have believed that in the early years of the
twenty-first century humanity was being watched from the dark void
of space. Minds of vast intelligence were studying our species,
learning our abilities and seeking out our weaknesses. When the
time was right they would strike and our civilization would fall
forever. The Earth would belong to new masters. It would have all
gone according to their plans but they made one mistake. They
probed a redneck.
It's been a year since their last outing. Brian, Ethel and Father
Frederick are back with more village idiocy. Frederick has injured
his nipples in a vicious moped accident whilst on his honeymoon and
no longer feels like a man. He's taken up the drink again and is
making people's lives a misery with his antics again. He can't work
out why strange men keep following him while he's out
drink-driving, though. Brian's concentrating on getting through
married life while trying to find a hobby that doesn't hurt. His
cousin Jeff (from The Office Idiot Reviews) has moved in for the
summer and is on hand to help Brian with his assertiveness when he
is bullied by the local biker, Jock. Ethel has discovered that it
was Denny who made her shopping trolley explode last year and with
Denny now an adult and living outside the safety of the children's
home, it won't be long before she exacts the revenge she's been
after. Meanwhile a battle for power is taking place at the manor
house. Lord Monty, who ordered his title from the Internet, is in a
battle of wills with his gamekeeper, Chopper. It's a never ending
struggle which, time after time, leaves Monty either out of pocket,
in pain or soaking wet. Written entirely in the form of product
reviews, we guarantee you've never read a book quite like this
before. (Unless you read the first one.) Hilarious and wholly
original, More Village Idiot Reviews introduces the most bonkers
set of countryside dwellers you've ever had the pleasure of
meeting.
