In the year in which the UK leaves the EU it felt quite appropriate that this little exercise in schadenfreude should be my last read of 2020.

Silly fluff that I got as a Christmas present. If only it were a less dire situation.

So much sarcasm! Short and sweet... Although sad, obviously. Fun images that go with each page

Poking fun at the Brexit madness in the unique ladybird way - Pair retro pictures with up to date sarky comments.

The best things about these books is the vintage artwork and trying to see if you remember any from ladybird books you had as a child. There’s an illustration in this one that I’m sure if from a copy of Cinderella I had as a child (that I loved because of the artwork!).

Inner rational voice: How dare you spend money! We're broke.

Reader Me: Look, I really need to laugh, okay. This is really funny. See?

Inner rational voice: The bit about the shed and the PM is so great.

Reader Me: And the cheese. The bit about cheese.

Los libros de Ladybird son una serie de explicaciones de grandes temas (Brexit, The Runaway Prime Minister, The English Civil War...) de forma más sencilla para niños de Primaria.
En este caso, aunque usa argumentos de los dos bandos del Brexit, se nota muchísimo lo irónico de muchas situaciones. Uno de sus puntos fuertes es la cantidad de situaciones de diferentes personas para que los nos entiendan gran variedad de puntos de vista.
Es gracioso y es educativo, así que totalmente recomendado.
