Overview
Meet the funniest, most honest dad in Britain. Matt Coyne's Sunday Times bestselling memoirs Dummy and Man vs. Toddler follow his journey from bewildered new father to veteran of tantrums, soft-play and sleepless nights. Sharp, filthy-funny and surprisingly moving, this two-book paperback set captures every stage of early parenthood with brutal honesty and huge heart. A perfect gift for exhausted new parents who need a laugh and the reassurance that they are absolutely not alone.
About the Books
Dummy began life as a viral blog post shared by millions of parents around the world, and grew into a Sunday Times bestselling book. In it, Matt Coyne recounts the chaos of his son Charlie's arrival with completely impractical advice for the bewildered new mum or dad, from "Profanity Bingo" for labour to a full categorisation of nappy disasters. Beneath the jokes sits a genuinely tender account of how becoming a parent changes a person forever.
Man vs. Toddler picks up where Dummy left off, following Charlie's transformation from an "innocent bundle of joy" into a toddler who talks back, throws tantrums and treats the living room like a war zone. Just as foul-mouthed and heart-warming as its predecessor, it dismantles the myth that parenting "gets easier," instead offering laugh-out-loud, painfully recognisable observations on toddler logic, soft-play horrors and the general mayhem of raising a small human. Together, these two books form a warts-and-all diary of the early years of fatherhood that has resonated with parents worldwide, praised for being as hilarious as it is achingly honest.
About the Author
Matt Coyne is from Sheffield, South Yorkshire. His life changed in September 2015 with the arrival of his son, Charlie. Three months into parenthood he began writing about his experience as a clueless first-time dad on the blog Man vs Baby, which quickly went viral and has since gathered hundreds of thousands of followers worldwide. Matt has written for The Guardian, The Telegraph, Private Eye and GQ, and both of his books have become Sunday Times bestsellers. He lives in Sheffield with Charlie, his partner Lyndsay and a Jack Russell terrier named Popcorn.
