Product Description

Review
Ever wandered what goes on in the head of a one-year-old? Here's a book that lets you know. Well, kind of. Candappa's previous books include The Little Book of Stress and The Stocking Filler. Autobiography of a One Year Old is the same kind of stocking filler material. A quick read, probably best consumed while you're waiting for your Christmas turkey to digest, it tells the tale of a perky one-year-old and gives the little chap the voice of a cynical adult. Broken down into lots of sections, each charting a different area of discovery, it explores such topics as how best to use the baby-listening device left by the parents to your advantage and the simple joys of running around the coffe table without any clothes on. It's all light-hearted stuff. Some of the section titles raise a snigger or two, like this twist on a famous line from the Vietnam movie Apocalypse Now: 'I love the smell of nappies in the morning. They smell of victory.' (Kirkus UK)

Product Description
This is a series of dispatches from the frontline of childhood. The reader is given an insight into the world of a one year old, a world where you're left in the charge of totally inept parents, where everything is the wrong height and where nobody understands a word you say.

5.0 out of 5 stars Prefect book to dip in and out of, 9 Nov 2001
I brought this book because it looked cute and am now really glad i did. It is funny and briliant as a night time read because it puts you in a good mood and helps you forget your stresses. The main charactor is indearing and if you spend any time at all around babies you will note some fantatsic similaities. A wonderful book, what more can you say!

5.0 out of 5 stars outstandingly entertaining - yet insightful, 14 Dec 2001
By A Customer
Not ones to read "baby books" - this provided me and my wife much entertainment, as we watch our baby embark upon toddlerhood. Recommended extensively to friends. Well worth a read. Paperback slightly less appealing in format - but just as entertaining.
