Review: I think they are great - just like the original but obviously brought bang ... - I bought this as a Christmas present. Myself and my brothers grew up with the ladybird books so I thought it would be an up-to-date nostalgic giggle/read for my Mum. Have ordered others in the series for other members of my family. I think they are great - just like the original but obviously brought bang up to date with an added humorous twist - brilliant. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 30,830 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 55 in Grandparents 85 in Humour Collections & Anthologies 198 in Aging | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,136 Reviews | ## Images ![How it Works: The Grandparent (Ladybirds for Grown-Ups) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61yyHDhWfkL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Hilarious and Heartwarming Tribute to Grandparenthood! *by J***M on 15 October 2023* "How it Works: The Grandparent" from the Ladybirds for Grown-Ups series has brought countless laughs and heartwarming moments to our family, making it the perfect Christmas present for my beloved parents.
