About this deal

Since the whole point of the Ladybird format was to make the world seem easy-to-understand and unshocking, these opening quotes offer a sort of apology, underlining the irony of attempting to squeeze an authoritative account of the world’s most complicated science into 50 heavily illustrated pages.

The eight new books, which will be published next month as part of Ladybird Books’ centenary celebrations, are reassuringly compact and crammed with illustrations of pipe-smoking men and smiling apron-clad women.As Brexit reaches its final stretch, find a way to laugh through the pain and or celebrate the end with Ladybird's hilarious and essential guide, The Story of Brexit.

Explore other essential life companions in the Ladybird Books of The Red Tape, The Meeting, The Zombie Apocalypse, and more. The 4 titles in the collection set include—Adding and Subtracting: Ladybird I'm Ready for Maths, Time, Shapes and Seasons: Ladybird I'm Ready for Maths, Times Tables: Ladybird I'm Ready for Maths, Multiplying and Dividing: Ladybird I'm Ready for Maths; each focused on a different maths function to ensure your child gets enough and more practice with each. The essential guide for those looking to reinvent themselves starting next week, next month or next year .Ladybird’s Twitter feed also features Peter Rabbit and Red Fox’s Alfie alongside its own Lego City and Peppa Pig.

If the idea of opening a pop-up trifle bistro in a Spitfire is your thing…chances are you would like to be a hipster and could do with this handy little guidebook. The eight books in the series feature original Ladybird artwork alongside brilliantly funny, brand new text. She can reset her password using a memorable name, but she has forgotten her memorable name too, so the account locks. Penguin was not amused and warned Ms Elia, via its lawyers, she would face court action if the book was not withdrawn. In The Ladybird Book of the Meeting – which has sold 165,000 copies – five middle-aged white men sit in earnest discussion around a table.The Book of Red Tape will no doubt resonate with those who frequently struggle with some of the complexities of modern life. But its first sentence - “Nobody can speak a language without understanding how it fits together” - provoked a snort of contempt from Arthur, a 26-year-old philosophy graduate. They are baby-sitters, weather forecasters, mother’s helpers, sweet collectors, child-minders, knitwear suppliers, au-pairs, curators of G-Plan furniture and providers of day-care for the under twelves. Quantum Mechanics devotes one full-page illustration to a joke about the sponsorship of Denmark’s Niels Bohr Institute by a well-known lager brewer; while Evolution ends with a picture of its Guardian-reading author, Steve Jones, being hoist aloft by an extremely well-endowed chimp. There is an art to the Sickie and with the help of this large-print, illustrated manual you will get to grips with the concept in no time.

The contradictions are most evident in the Climate Change book, which aimed to draw attention to an urgent 21st-century issue, while nodding back to the aesthetics of the 50s and 60s - with the curious result that it appears to endorse the Prince of Wales’s reactionary views on architecture, and, by extension, society. It’s great to see how many people love Ladybird books as much as we do, and that it’s not only us who’d appreciate a helping hand with the baffling world of being a grown-up. The pre-loved books are carefully cleaned and maintained offering a wide variety of general and specialist titles from children's to adults.They are co-creators of spoof local newspaper The Framley Examiner (awards pending) and the bestselling but still-waiting-to-be-award-winning offbeat travel guides Bollocks to Alton Towers and Far from the Sodding Crowd. 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.
