Fowl Language: The Struggle Is Real (Volume 2)

This second book of Fowl Language is even better than the first. It should be required reading for all parents and patents to be. It describes in true yet hilarious ways the struggles and joys of parenthood. And besides the humor, you sense throughout that Brian Gordon loves children and the whole crazyness of parents trying to influence them into becoming well adjusted, sensible and smart adults. He pokes right through that and describes it as it is: As a new parent you strap yourself in tight, and brace for an 18 year rollercoaster ride with all the ups and downs and topsy turviness you can stomach (and often more). Eh yes, there will be occasional puking , even those less pleasant aspects are not omitted in these cartoons. In closing, really great and fun read. Give this to all expecting parents. It will give them a fun dose of "what really to expect " beforehand— and much needed comic relief once the little ones are there. I love being a father, and Fowl Language makes me appreciate all of it, even (or especially) when things are crazy and you feel like the lunatics (a.k.a. your children) are running the asylum (formerly known as your home). Ten Stars, and please write more!!!

This book and this artist is FANTASTIC! I follow him on instagram, and his work is just so relatable to anyone who has kids. He has a blended family in real life, and the ducks in his comic portray himself as the dad and of course his adventures with his family. Very cute, funny, and touching. My teen boys have also read this book and they appreciate the humor also.

Even though my spawn are turning forty, Mr. Gordon's comics bring their childhood right back to me. They also draw the occasional yelp of laughter but, somehow, when I run into spawn two's room, cackling wildly, to show him a hilarious panel, he doesn't have quite the same reaction. Pfffttt, he just lacks the experience. But there's still time for him to know the, mmm, joys of parenthood. From inadequate burp towels to necessary lessons on what goes where in the toilet, Mr. Gordon has the right of it, and I am most appreciative.

All of my family loved the book. I follow the comic strip on-line and it's awesome.

I laughed, I cried, and then I went to sleep happy! Mostly because the tale of parenting told through comics is a little too on-the-nose! I laughed throughout the book, I cried when reading and being interrupted by my own kids, and I went to sleep happy knowing I was not the only parent to suffer! I loved the first book, and this one is just as funnier. My only problem is that it is too short, I just wanted to read more and more! Thanks to the author for making me feel a part of this super secret parent club, where I know I'm not the only one to cuss, get frustrated, laugh, and love my life as a parent. Keep up the good work!

This is the funniest comic strip I've ever read but it is a short book. I read the sample first and wanted the book but I don't think I will buy another one unless the price goes down. Usually the more expensive the book the more pages you get. I say buy at least one of his books and reread it over and over unless you are rich then buy them all

I hope you all support this artist. His work is hilarious and relatable. I bought his first book for my mother as a Mother's Day gift and she LOVED it and laughed for hours. This is the perfect book to share with siblings as you all age and bring up memories of "back in the day." If you need a good laugh I highly recommend picking up this book and enjoying the cute ducks while cracking up.

I absolutely adore this comic collection! Mr. Gordon really captures the spirit and (unintended) hilarity that is parenting. I can't recommend his work enough to people, though parents may get the greatest joy from being able to relate to the specific instances, anyone can appreciate the brilliance.

Well as pretty much everyone else says - if you're a parent you'll recognise pretty much all of these. Interesting that kids no matter where they live are very much alike :-D If you're not a parent, there's still a debate ongoing whether reading this book (and the first one) is a good idea or not :-)

More than 90% of this book is on the net.

BD très drôle sur les joies de la parentalité. En anglais.

Superb book. Touches all the raw nerves of parents today . I can empathise with each and every word written . I highly recommend it !

I got it for my mum for Christmas, and she loves it. Truly a great book. It does have some swearing, but I don't mind. Also check out this dudes other book, welcome to parenthood.
