Bride's Little Miseries
What a great gift for the bride drowning in pre-wedding madness!
She'll totally relate to her comic counterpart on the page,
who's coping with everything from a stubborn hairdresser to
embarrassing family members. Divided into two parts —
"Planning the Wedding" and "Wedding Day" — this little
gem is sure to give stressed-out brides-to-be a very welcome
laugh. Witty cartoons capture the agony of a fiancé with no
opinions and a future mother-in-law with lots of opinions;
of selecting bridesmaids and choosing a dress that suits
everyone; and dealing with a pimple that arrives bright and
early on the big day! All these little miseries add up to,
of course, a happy, fairytale ending as the bride marries
the one she loves.
Pregnancy's Little Miseries
Mothers-to-be are supposed to glow — but sometimes a
lost waistline, morning sickness, unwanted parenting advice,
and total strangers who feel free to touch her swelling belly
get her down. Here's something to cheer up that expectant
mom who's experiencing these and other little agonies as she
awaits the blessed event. With its sympathetic perspective
and humorous drawings, this delightful gift book will help
those who are pregnant laugh about the small trials endured
over nine months—strange food cravings, maternity clothes
shopping, labor horror stories, and the total inability to
find a comfortable position to sleep in. Of course all ends
as it should: with the happy birth of a healthy, beautiful
baby!
I Can Wait
Nobody likes to wait, but sometimes you just don't have a choice.
Whether they're waiting for the printer to print, or waiting for
their braces to come off, it's easy to commiserate with these
reluctantly patient kids while they wait...and wait...and wait.
Here is the perfect book for anyone who is waiting for something.
Misery is a Smell in Your Backpack
Having a bad day? You'll feel better after reading this book!
Kids and grown-ups alike are sure to relate to the many
miseries that fill these pages. Misery Is a Smell In Your
Backpack is the perfect pick-me-up for the less-than-perfect
day! Harriet Ziefert and Jennifer Rapp have turned life's
commonplace disasters into comic relief.
Misery is a Spider in the Bathtub
Misery is taking a bite of too-hot pizza when the cheese is
still bubbly and trying to juggle it with your tongue while
reaching for a sip of cold water. Misery is when you have to
wear a hat after a trip to the salon for a little trim.
Misery is having to explain to the doctor how the jelly bean
got stuck up your nose. These and numerous other "miseries"
fill this funny book that kids and grown-ups alike are sure
to relate to. Jennifer Rapp's art is so deliciously grumpy
that it just can't help but elicit a grin. A great gift that
will inspire givers and receivers to share their own little
miseries, and best of all, change frowns into smiles.
