LADYBIRD BOOK OF THE SICKIE

The Ladybird Book of the Sickie 

"Lawrence and Ben are enjoying a bout of imaginary food poisoning. Food poisoning is always good because its over quickly and nobody likes to hear stories about toilets."

"When Jesse gets home from a very big party, he phones his manager and leaves a message. Now he does not have to get up early to call in sick.Calling the office at 3:07am is exactly what someone with a real cold would do, Jesse thinks to himself as he falls asleep on his stairs with a kebab for a pillow."

This delightful book is the latest in the series of Ladybird books which have been specially planned to help grown-ups with the world about them. The large clear script, the careful choice of words, the frequent repetition and the thoughtful matching of text with pictures all enable grown-ups to think they have taught themselves to cope. Featuring original Ladybird artwork alongside brilliantly funny, brand new text.
