Book Hero thinking about your next read

F is for Fashion, Darling is an alphabet book parody for parents who know their Prada from their Pampers.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

F is for Fashion, Darling is a tongue-in-chic introduction to all things cute couture, an ode to the new mummy looking to give her baby a strutting start on the important things in life.

This book will take you from A to Z through the most iconic words and phrases from the world of fashion. But the words and phrases spoken on catwalks and in boutiques have new meanings for new parents: Bold prints are made by mucky hands, Power dressing involves a mask and cape, and Luxury is being able to sleep through the night...

Babies and toddlers will love playing with this classic board book and exploring the bright, popping artworks that illustrate each letter of the alphabet in not-so-serious style. Mum and dad will be just as entertained by the knowing nods to the experience of being a new parent.

F is for Fashion, Darling is perfect for anyone juggling the joy of parenthood with the responsibility of being a fashion icon. This book is your chance to become the chicest mum at playgroup. That's fashion, darling.

    'My favourite band. Ever! And certainly the best dressed.' Sam Neill Split Enz were never designed to fit. Emerging from art school mischief in early-1970s New Zealand, they turned pop into surreal theatre: costume, character and melody colliding in a rock band that refused to behave like one. At the centre of that vision was Noel Crombie—percussionist, performer and the...
