Mummy says, daddy says - Jules Ede

"There are three things that Children will happily share . . . .

Nasal mucus secretions. Animal excrement deposits on their shoes. The precise age of their parents."

MummySays...Daddy Says introduces the readerto the surreal world of Jules Ede, an author fortunate enough to have residedon the affluent border of South West London and Surrey for the past fourteenyears. Having had the opportunity to observe and analyse family life of itsmore comfortable residents and their privileged offspring from severaldifferent aspects, he attempts to sketch an authentic but affectionatecaricature of some of these parents and their children by using a canvas ofsome scenarios that they might well be experiencing in their everyday lives.

Stencilled sparingly between some of theseportraits are a few choice quotations from children about their nurturers, andalternatively from parents about their beloved offspring that prove to beentertaining and a glimpse through the window of society's anomalies.

The illustrations contained within the pages arecompletely original and echo those that might appear in Ladybird Adult Humourbooks. Existing parents will appreciate the humour and entirely accurateportraits depicting the beautiful and often embarrassing things our children say.
