The Awful Truth
3 primary works
Book 1
From teacher tantrums and school dinner queues to cranky caretakers and three-star excuses, Scoular Anderson tells the Awful Truth about school. Find out why pupils take 31 seconds to undress for swimming, and 31 minutes to get dressed afterwards. Experience the full horror of The Thing-in-the-sink, the Gungy Gluepot and the Painty Sponge. Learn what goes on behind the shutters of the school kitchen, and view the results of the school photographer's visit...
A sharply observed and extremely funny caricature of primary school life, which children will recognise with delight.
Book 2
From their sense of time to the food they cook, Scoular Anderson tells the Awful Truth about grown-ups. Find out why grown-ups see things differently and take gardening so seriously. Learn to spot various types of grown-up just by their coats. All those strange grown-up comments and embarrassing actions are closely examined.
An amusing and mischievous portrayal of grown-ups, which will strike a chord with children everywhere.
Book 3
An exploration of the many ways we try to have fun. From pets to theme parks, the witty text and hilarious illustrations reveal the Awful Truth about hobbies, sports and other favourite leisure activities. Scoular Anderson uncovers the slapstick humour inherent in rollerblading and rugby, horse-riding and holidays, cats and computer games.
A very original and highly amusing look at fun.
