Customer Reviews

Great stress busting book - good idea for Xmas stockings

I'm a father and thought this would be great to entertain my kids whilst travelling next year. That'll certainly work but it's also a good adult fun book with various 'how too's' like; How to phone in well to work, How to switch off the telly, How to have piggy-back fights etc. Certainly worth the cash - I know a few members of my family who'll be getting a stress busting copy this Xmas. Top bananas.

Pleasantly simple

I am set to wondering whether the previous reviewer has heard of the phrase 'tongue in cheek'.

Well worth it.

How anyone could not laugh, smile and rave about this book is beyond me. I loved it enough to buy the three the local store had in stock, and I still have a few people to whom I want to give copies, so here I am ordering more!It's not to be taken as a manual, but rather a reminder, as the previous reader touched on.Buy this book, it'll make you smile.

an important reminder

I disagree with the rather harsh review of the previous reader. While we may not need step-by-step instructions to watch clouds, most of us have a definite need to be reminded that there is value in the act. This book is an important reminder to enjoy life's simple pleasures.
