This is another entry in the Famous Five for grownups books that parody the children’s series by Enid Blyton. All of the books in the series have been pretty fun, but I also noticed that this is by a different author as the other ones I’ve read were by Bruno Vincent. Still, Hamley does just as good of a job and I have no complaints, although I wouldn’t recommend going out of your way for it either. Unless you’re from Australia, of course.

Bruno Vincent – Five Go Parenting

This one was okay but it’s not my favourite. Perhaps part of the reason for that is that I don’t like kids and so even though this book is a send up of the “delight” that is becoming a parent, I still didn’t like reading about it in the first place.

Still, if you have a friend who’s either expecting or is a new parent, this would make for a pretty good gift. It has a fun sense of humour and the illustrations are great. Enjoy.
