Synopsis

A is for Apple, B is for Bear, C is for Cat... Z is for zzzzzz. Traditional ABC books just don't reflect the busy lives of today's toddlers.

Far more useful to learn that A is for Allergy, B is for Babyccino, and C is for Controlled Crying.

All the pain and joy of modern parenting is packed into this delightfully silly, beautifully illustrated ABC.

Media Reviews
The perfect gift for new parents, H is for Hummus is a wittily observed ABC which highlights the realities of middle class parenting - B is for Babyccino, C is for Catchment, R is for Reward Chart, W is for Wheat Intolerant... Spot on and very funny * Mumsnet *
A jokey alphabet book that adults find funny, too. F is for Farrow and Ball! * Jennifer Saunders *
Brings the vocabulary of modern parenting right up to date, and makes gentle fun of unwritten middle-class rules, as well as the essential products and customs that parents subscribe to: dough balls at Pizza Express, Trunkis and Micro Scooters (the only brand to be seen with)... * Sunday Telegraph *
Fabulous - brilliantly reflects the busy lives of the modern-day toddler. The perfect antidote to the traditional ABC book, and the perfect gift for parents, new, old, and soon to be * The Adventures of Sonny & Luca *
