Synopsis: Turnip-Led Weaning...' is Supernanny on acid: a handbag-sized, laugh-out-loud parody of mainstream parenting advice. Angelica Fustain is a spoof nanny who covers all the crucial topics of preschooler care - from crying to sleeping and clothing to discipline - but all from a deliciously outrageous viewpoint. Angelica's motivation is to protect society from the terrible effects of poor parenting. She is neither a parent nor a childcare professional herself, but her cluelessness doesn't stop her being outrageously prescriptive and forceful:* She champions the rights of innocent bystanders: "It's your moral duty to invest in adequate sound proofing so baby's screaming won't interfere with your neighbours' bedtime reading." * She mentions the unmentionable: "When friends say they would love to see your child they really mean in a picture on Facebook." * She believes that hard work always pays off: "By all means use a tumble dryer ... but you can enhance the parent-child bond quite magically by singing your children's clothes dry with your warm breath." * She never misses an opportunity to promote her wide range of merchandise: "You can buy a range of Trudy Truelove ready-made clothes from my website, all reassuringly priced at more than GBP85 to make sure you never see a child emerge from Aldi wearing the same outfit as your treasured offspring."`Turnip-Led Weaning...' has been reviewed by a sample cross section of readers and the feedback has been terrific. Readers say that not only is the book very funny, it has also put the modern obsession with `perfect parenting' into perspective and helped them to relax about their own efforts
