Confessions of a Learner Parent: Parenting like a boss. (An inexperienced, slightly ineffectual boss.)

''I always wanted kids - but then again, I always wanted a loft conversion. Both are pretty easy to put off as they''re very expensive and tend to wreck your house.''

Stand-up comedian Sam Avery (aka the Learner Parent) started his award-winning blog when his twin boys were born. A million nappies, Peppa Pig episodes and a lot less sleep later, he shares all the lows, highs and hilarious in-betweens of his experiences of first-time parenthood in this, his highly anticipated first book.

Sam''s honest, messy and laugh-out-loud account of trying for a baby (which transpired to be babIES) and figuring out what to do with them once they arrived - right up to the toddler years of talking, walking and tantrum-ing - will have you crying with laughter between your own nappy changes and nursery runs.
