Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Having dealt with the difficult subjects of birth in Mummy Laid an Egg and death in Drop Dead, Babette Cole now turns her attention to another taboo--divorce. Two of Everything puts a different perspective on the issue of divorce by focussing on what a divorce can bring--two of everything and happier parents.

Although the whole issue of the end of a marriage is addressed in Babette Cole's characteristically zany way--only Babette would come up with the idea of a vicar "un-marrying" a couple-- important messages are conveyed in such a way that children are not only entertained, but also reassured. Sadly, divorce is a common occurrence which affects many children, this hilarious picture book addresses the issues and children's main concerns and, at the same time, is an entertaining read filled with Babette Cole's characteristic colourful and inventive illustrations. (4 years and up) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.



Product Description

Demetrius and Paula Ogglebutt are two perfectly beautiful and well behaved children - which is more than can be said for their problem parents. Mr. and Mrs. Ogglebutt can't agree on anything, and spend their days playing extremely nasty practical jokes on one another. Drastic measures are needed. So Paula and Demetrius put their heads together and come up with the perfect plan - 'an un-wedding'!

5.0 out of 5 stars funny and helpful, 24 Mar 2000
By A Customer
My three and a half year old has wanted to read this book every day since I bought it. Although Paula and Demetrius's parents aren't the same as my ex and I, reading about other children with "problem parents" seems to have helped my daughter talk about and release some of her feelings about our divorce. She's pointed out how we're different to the Ogglebutts and laughed at them. This book is completely non-judgemental. It tells everything from the children's point of view and shows how they're stuck in the middle and that its *not* their fault. And it's hilarious.

The book used to be available as "The Un-Wedding".

I wish there were more kids stories about divorce and children with two homes.

5.0 out of 5 stars So hard to find a book like this, 19 Aug 2005
By A Customer
My son is 4 and has suffered quietly after his dad left very suddenly. He thought that it was his fault and has been searching his soul and questioning each time he has not behaved perfectly. It has taken a lot to get him to talk about how he feels and this book helped. Another book that was excellent was 'It's not your fault, Koko bear' by Vicki Lansky

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely fantastic - 100% recommended, 16 Dec 2007
What a brilliant book!

Key example - first time I ever read this to my 4 year old daughter...

The two parents in the book are arguing and fighting all the time (all very humorously), and their two children, our main characters, wonder if it might all be their fault. As soon as that question was posed my daughter piped up with, "It is!". I was stunned.

Of course on the next page it is explained how, at a meeting of all the kids at school who have problem parents, it was unanimously decided that it is NOT the fault of kids if "their parents behave like 5 year olds".

From that moment on my daughter has agreed with the book every time, and realises that our separation is not her fault.

This is SUCH a classic thing for kids to think, and I am so grateful that this book surfaced this idea in my daughter's mind (it was obviously already there) and then showed her in a very powerful way what the actual truth is.

I also recommend "It's not your fault, Koko Bear". When I bought these two books and read them to my daughter it made an immediate and profound difference to her, how she felt about handover times, etc.

Buy it!
