About this ebook
An adult parody of children’s alphabet books, offering horrible—but hilarious—advice, from the authors of All my friends are dead.
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. 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 humor may be terrible for actual children, but it’s perfect for the common-senseless child in all adults. Plus, this is the fixed-format version, which looks nearly identical to the physical book.

“Great fun for adults. The humorous illustrations, done in the style common in kids books, greatly add to the fun.” —Geek Alerts

I found it to be a bit too short for the price I paid for it, and I got it on sale, but it was a fairly humorous spin on typical children's books. Having an 8 month old baby makes it much dinner because she will grow up reading this book instead of some lame letters book about animals or something.

If there was something more to this book I would get it. (if you read the free sample you will know what I mean)

I laughed way to hard at some of the advice. Really funny book, definitely a short to read on a long day to relax. Will share this for sure!
