Book Reviews of Great Lies to Tell Small Kids
Book Review: "If you utter the trigger word 'Badminton' to your grandmother..."
Summary: 5 Stars
"...her original programming will activate and she will kill all humans."
This caption runs underneath a picture of an elderly woman in a rocking chair reading, while a boy looks at her trepidatiously.
If you find this sort of thing amusing, I suspect that like me, you'll very much enjoy this book. These comics are sort of like a British youngsters version of Dan Piraro's excellent "Bizarro." By making things deliberately topsy-turvy, Andy Riley gets us to think about the world in a different way.
And that's a good thing.

Summary of Great Lies to Tell Small Kids
On the heels of his runaway Bunny Suicides books, cartoonist Andy Riley turns his irreverent wit to another group of small creatures that lurk among us seemingly everywhere: children.
From the benign (every ant you meet must be named) to the truly cruel (Ronald McDonald is dead!), each hilarious cartoon has a tall tale to educate children and entertain wicked adults everywhere.
