    About this ebook

    From the authors of the breakout bestseller All my friends are dead. 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.

      This is one of those joke books mostly bought to give to other people as a joke present or maybe to cheer them up. An alphabet book with bad advice, D is for Drifter whose out in your lawn, Bring him inside when your parents are gone....Its cute, it is exactly what it claims to be, and you probably should keep this away from children.
    • 5/5
      If you don't understand this type of dark humor, you will give it one star. Otherwise I will thoroughly enjoy the bad advice that u wish u received.

      It was not interesting in the least, it was disgusting, and the illustrations aren’t even good! I absolutely hated it and I wish I could give it less than one star.

      Terrible but funny, at the same time.. Don't take it too seriously.

      It was a really bad book... Please don't read it... It will be dangerous for your children!
    • 5/5
      Omfg! This book was over the top and hilarious from beginning to end. When I thought it couldn't get any worse, it did! And I'm happy for it. Definitely not a book for kids at all. But a great adult humor book. Every one of the alphabet was my favorite and I'm still trying to figure out why there was a pickle at the end of the book. Randomness I guess which is awesome!
    • 5/5
      a must read for youngsters of all ages and everyone who wants life advice
