Love this book, it is so humourous, bought is as a gift for my husband as part of his wedding anniversary but had a read before i gave it to him and its very funny. Written in the style of Peter and Jane classics, with those brilliant illustrations, was a blast from the past. Every husband needs one

Great for anyone who likes a laugh

nostalgia yes are used to have these when I was a child They are quite fun to read and look at the picture and then remind me when I was a child now I’m 30 something I am in love with them all over again I know people might not like these books it’s not for everyone cup of tea

Funny gift

Lots of publicity about these revamped Ladybird books so bought a set. All quite good - not disappointed.Funny and witty and a good querky present.

I purchased this book for my wife: I thought, "give her a treat" she does after all deserve it. She has told me so often that I have "no idea" that I am "insensitive" and barely able to hold a conversation and so, I thought that as I obviously do not understand her, perhaps she should try to understand me.I left it propped on her pillow for when she came to bed. Sadly she didn't and so I spent 20 minutes reading it myself. Not since I read "grumpy old men" have a found a book so familiar to my persona and other men of my era. My wife stubbornly refuses to read the book, but thankfully when she castigates me in future, at least I can demonstrate that I have tried to get her to understand.It is well written and a must for any newly weds. My advice to those men about to embark on the path to matrimonial bliss, is get her trained quickly and this book will definitely help in that respect.

Aunque tardó en llegar, la guía es divertida y las ilustraciones son muy bonitas. Como regalo es bastante original y en mi caso ha gustado mucho.

I read it in few mins, but how true it is!! Laughing is guaranteed from the beginning as it starts as "This is a husband. He may look complicated, but he is in fact very simple. He runs on sausages and beer"

Made a good gift for my husband.

Brilliantly scripted. For my generation where Ladybird books were life lessons. Well worth buying

Engländer werden die alten Ladybird-Bücher kennen, in denen jeweils bestimmte Themen einfach und anschaulich erklärt wurden. Umso lustiger ist, dass der gleiche Verlag nun seine Klassiker-Reihe selber auf den Arm nimmt und diverse ironische Bücher im Retrolook aufgelegt hat, die mit dem alten Ladbird-Book-Look spielen. Hier nun als "The husband", in dem die Verhaltensweisen der Ehemänner auf's Korn genommen werden. Wunderbar im Fifties-Stil illustriert, ein tolles Geschenk, das zudem nicht allzu viel kostet.
