Alphabet Of Terrible Advice Book

Product Description

From the authors of the breakout bestseller All my friends are dead. (more than 175,000 copies sold) and 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 in which 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.

Kids love this book. Put this on your baby shower and grandkids wish list!

My kids loved this book! However... when they took it to school for show-and-tell, a few sensitive kids said this book was considered a "micro-aggression" and said it "hurt their feelings", then told my kids they couldn't bring it back to school. Wow. Just wow.

This playful book rocks.

Great if you have a solid sense of humor and do not take yourself too seriously.

People writing bad reviews saying they bought it for their kids and were shocked by it are ridiculous. They are giving a product a poor review because they lack the reading comprehension skills to read the item description and retain the information that it is not a children's book. Can't blame the product for your own lack of effort/understanding.

Great book, not to be read around ailing Grandmas.

So, this book is hysterical and all-but maybe don't bring it to a family gift exchange and read it out loud. It's got a bit about a dying Grandma in it. So maybe don't read it in front of your aging and ailing Grandma.

A humor let down
by Blithe (2 out of 5 stars)

Knifeball is by far the funniest letter of the alphabet in this book. They are downhill to boring from there. I was hoping for most of the jokes in here to have the same edgy humor but instead they are bland for my taste. I bought this for a gag gift for my expecting wife. It was good for a one time look. Nothing worth rereading.

Fun gift. Some funny lines, some not
by Mike the Pharmacist (3 out of 5 stars)

This was purchased as a white elephant gift for a Christmas party. The reviews looked good and the pages that could be seen online were funny. The problem is that only about 50% of the pages hit that funny mark. I enjoyed the dark humor and thought the jokes were solid, but was hoping for a few more laughs. The idea is great, and I think it was good for a white elephant game, but wasn't exactly what I had hoped. I would rate it as just being okay. Not great, not bad. A few good laughs, a few moments of woof.... thats not really even funny, almost dad joke like, and a few with the "ehh not bad" reaction. Probably wouldn't buy it again if I had a do over knowing the full contents of the book

Great! In the same genre as "One Child Too Many" and "Go the F to Sleep"
by Halsted R. (5 out of 5 stars)

This book is like "One Child Too Many", "All My Friends Are Dead", and "Go the F to Sleep". It's a funny satire of children's books (but for adults), and is perfect as a gift for a parent with a sense of humor. The graphic design is top-notch, and the commentary/story is a lot of fun. I bought a bundle of books for a new mom, and she really appreciated reading something that made light of the children's-book category.

Hilarious!
by Jennifer (5 out of 5 stars)

This book is hilarious! irs Definitely geared towards adults, but I think kids would enjoy it too as long as adults are sure to make sure their kids understand that it's just a joke. Definitely a nice change of pace from all the other kids books that we read over and over! Nice quality book, too!

Worth every penny!

OMG! Laugh out loud funny! Things I've always wanted to say to kids, but thier parents would have killed me. If your kids are prone to violence or they are little s**t disturbers, do not buy this book. If they're smart enough to know this is sarcasm, then they'll love it!!

Not for the pearl-clutchers, but if you have a dark sense of humor, jump on board!
by nonspecificgirl (5 out of 5 stars)

This is just a silly book with my kind of dark humor! I find now that my kids are in high school, I no longer get to shop for story books. But Amazon has my back once again with their fairly good sized selection of adult humor story books. Definitely won't be popular with the pearl-clutching set. Maybe that's why I love it so much!
