The truth about families ISBN: 01927223782
Hard, Charlotte and Shavick, Andrea
Published by Oxford University Press, 2001
Funny and clever and quite honest about what it's like to live in a family - the differences in people, the fights and rows, and the fun times. While large families are emphasised, there are bits about small families too, and about the complications of step-families. However, the main themes have to do with inter-relationships, how people interact with each other, not the relationships themselves. Good fun, good bright comic style illustrations with lots of speech bubbles. ' The truth about families is that you can't choose them.'
Age: 5+
