The Sprog Owner’s Manual

　　Warning: Before acquiring a sprog, please read the following instructions VERY CAREFULLY! In The Sprog Owner's Manual (or How Kids Work), the wickedly funny Babette Cole will have kids--and parents--roaring with laughter.

　　From acquisition to waste management, fuel to fittings, this book contains everything you need to know about sprogs (okay, kids) and, most importantly, how to tell the difference between a good sprog (kind to animals, nice smell of soap) and a bad sprog (sticky hair, smelly feet, animals are frightened). Lively, fun, and irreverent, Babette Cole's books for children offer a hilariously fresh look at the ludicrous side of life. Winner of the prestigious Kurt Maschler Award, Cole is the author of such favorites as The Hairy Book, The Slimy Book, The Trouble With... books, Dr. Dog, Princess Smartypants, and The Bad Good Book of Manners.
