Meet the Parents by Peter Bently
5.0
Originally reviewed by author, Liss Norton for www.serendipityreviews.co.uk.
This picture book is a heart-warming celebration of family life. Parents definitely aren't just there to boss children around and here are pages and pages of wonderful pictures to prove it.
Parents sort out all of life's little mishaps, whether you've dropped ice cream on a stranger's boots or lost some toys in the garden. The rhyming text is perfect and the illustrations expand on it with gentle humour, so there's plenty to talk about on every page. I particularly loved the double spread showing Mum as a donkey: it brought back so many memories! But all of the illustrations deserve close attention. Parents are sure to recognize themselves here, whether they're the dad trying to read while holding up the children's tent, or the mum napping on the sofa.
This is definitely a book to be treasured. I loved it!
