Description

From the authors of the breakout bestseller All my friends are dead. (more than 175,000 copies sold) and in the humorous vein of Go the F**k to Sleep comes a laugh-out-loud collection of bad advice that turns the children's alphabet book on its head. Adorable illustrated characters lead readers down a path of poor decision-making, and alphabetical, rhyming couplets offer terrible life lessons in which O is for opening things with your teeth, F is for setting Daddy's wallet on fire, and R is for Raccoon (but definitely not for rabies). With plenty of playfully disastrous choices lurking around every corner, this compendium of black humormay be terrible for actual children, but it's perfect for the common-senseless child in all adults.

Author Biography

Reviews

...great fun for adults. The humorous illustrations, done in the style common in kids books, greatly add to the fun. Geek Alerts The co-authors of the darkly funny animated stories All my friends are dead have done it again with this parody children's book, capturing the hilarious essence of their debut novels. -Cool Hunting
