Bride's Little Miseries

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

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!

Misery is a Spider in the Bathtub

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.
