My Bout of Books, Day 6 Book: Please Don't Eat the Daisies


I'm borrowing this book from my mother. She recently bought it when we went to a library book sale. So, I thought I would give it a read.

Book: Please Don't Eat the Daisies by Jean Kerr with illustrations by Martha Blanchard

Description:

Please Don't Eat the Daisies has sold millions of copies since its original publication in 1957. It became a film in 1960 starring David Niven and Doris Day, and a television series in 1965. Now you can read why many consider Jean Kerr to be one of America's funniest writers. In this unique collection of essays, Kerr captures the perils of motherhood, wifehood, selfhood, and other assorted challenges. Listen and learn "How to Decorate in One Easy Breakdown" and how to drop those unwanted pounds with "Aunt Jean's Marshmallow Fudge Diet." Please Don't Eat the Daisies strikes modern listeners as particularly funny because these feminist issues are still relevant today.
