Book Review - Lies we tell our kids by Brett Wagner

Lies We Tell Our Kids

By Brett Wagner


ISBN 9780997431513
Pub Date 20 Feb 2018 

Brett Wagner has created a book with incredible art work which tells a story in themselves and matches them with sayings our parents warned us with as we were children showing us how dark and wild some of the things we were told really were. 

This is a nice book to flick through and laugh at the sayings while admiring the art work, some of which would make a great tattoo! I especially loved the saying about how you should eat your vegetables or they will eat you accompanied with the image of a killer carrot.
