How it Works: The Wife

<p><strong>The PERFECT GIFT for</strong> <strong>your long-suffering wife or prospective bride. Or, for any fool of a husband or seriously deluded groom-to-be who hasn't yet understood what he's signed up for.</strong><strong><br /> </strong><br /><strong>Tina is getting married. It is the best day of her life.</strong><br /><br /><strong>Next year, she will claim that becoming a mother was the best day of her life, but only because she was on some very strong drugs.</strong><br /><br /><strong>Neither is true. The best day of her life was on her eighth birthday, when she got a yellow bike. </strong><br /><br /><strong>The wife likes surprises.</strong><br /><br /><strong>Her favourite sort is a surprise birthday party.</strong><br /><br /><strong>It is the husband's job to organise this surprise for her, and to keep her informed of every detail about it.</strong><br /><br />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. <br /><br /> 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. <br /><br /><strong>'Hilarious' <em>Stylist</em></strong></p>
