Review of
Childproof: Cartoons About Parents & Children,
by Roz Chast ISBN 9780786862443
Five out of five stars
The challenges of parenthood from both perspectives
For nearly all
adults, the most significant thing they will do in their life is to have
children and raise them to adulthood. It is an extremely challenging
profession, at time filling you with the greatest joy and at other times
frustrating you to the point of literal madness. It takes the twisted mind of a
genius to find humor in these situations, Roz Chast satisfies that job
description.
The cartoons
depict common scenarios that take place between parents and children as well as
between children. Sometimes they are siblings while at other times they are
playmates or classmates. The cartoons are amusing because they are so true.
Life’s challenges are hard, and parenting is a daily hard, balancing everything
from earning a living to feeding them to simply sharing the same household.
If you want to
see truth expressed in the funny papers, this is the book for you.
