The Girl, The Penguin, The Home-Schooling And The Gin: A Parody
The Girl, The Penguin, The Home-Schooling And The Gin: A Parody

Humorous parody on pandemic home-schooling chaos.

If you've been in the trenches of home-schooling during the pandemic, or just need a good laugh about the whole situation, this parody will hit home. Adams and Dusk playfully exaggerate the reality many parents faced, bringing humor to the otherwise stressful moments that come with juggling child education and everyday life. It's a light-hearted, relatable read that might just be the comic relief you need.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

It's alright,' said the Penguin, in exactly the sort of way that Penguins don't. This is the only book you'll ever need to find complete happiness. Because it's been a bit of a trying time, hasn't it? You now know that your five-year old is better at maths than you. And English. And at not crying during work. And the only way to get through it with a smile has been to buy all the booze and try to remember how to do 'going out'. But don't worry, here to paper over all the cracks is a touching book, full of tender animal friends, pretty pictures and not too many words. A book for our times - to remind us of the precious joys of having all the family together, non-stop, twenty four hours a day. Owning it will make you happy. Giving it to other people will make you seem kind. Reading it will remind you that you're nearly out of gin.
