Mamma mia! Didn't think mums could make you laugh Think again. "The Big Book of Mothers' Wit and Wisdom" is full of classic one-liners from a rich variety of red-hot mammas such as Victoria Wood, Joan Rivers, Roseanne and Marge Simpson.Covering all the joys of motherhood, these celebrated matriarchs deliver belly laughs and offer pearls of maternal wisdom on such topics as morning sickness and stretch marks, playground politics and raising hormonal teenagers, frenzied mealtimes and dreary household chores.Illustrated with heart-warming photographs spanning the generations, and packed with sharp insights from family members, "The Big Book of Mothers' Wit and Wisdom" will give every mother the one thing she really needs (apart from an uninterrupted night's sleep): a good laugh.
