Happily Never After: Modern Cautionary Verse by Mitchell Symons Review

Reviewed by Louisa Nashir

This fantastic hardback book provided many giggle in my house as the poems are all about kids. The book is set into verses about each awful child and is cleverly told like a story but in rhyme. My favourite was Rory – whose fussiness when it came to food had severe consequences later on in life.

Each of the tales is comical and well-illustrated giving the reader a clearer idea of what the character looked like. This book literally had me laughing out loud and at the grand old age of 30 I must say I really enjoyed it! I hope my stepdaughter enjoys the book as much as I did and I hope she learns a thing or 2 along the way.

Well worth the £7.99 price tag and I really recommend this to everyone.
