About this listen

More inept, more clueless and more exhausted than ever, the man behind the blogging phenomenon Man vs Baby is back with the latest instalment in his (and his son Charlie's) journey through the chaos and comedy of parenting

In the follow-up to the critically acclaimed Sunday Times bestseller Dummy (April 2017) comes Man vs. Toddler - the story of what happens when your little one is transformed from an innocent bundle of joy into a creature that walks, talks... and craps in a plastic bucket in the middle of your living room.

Man vs Toddler exposes the lie that, that when it comes to parenting 'it gets easier'. But it is just as honest, foul-mouthed and heart-warming as Matt's first book, and will have you laughing and crying with recognition as he shares his observations and advice on everything from tantrums to the horrors of soft-play.

The narrator has done an amazing job. Best book I have read/listened to in years.

Fantastic.

Such a funny, heart felt book. Had me laughing out loud. Very touching and reminds you how wonderful toddlers are and that it's ok to feel overwhelmed sometimes.

Midwives should be handing out copies of this book in the delivery room! The information all parents need, delivered in the funniest way possible.

Loved this book. It could easily have been written about my son. Very accurate and honest look into parenthood

Witty and too accurate

I've never written a review but felt compelled to do so, in solidarity with all the dads out there.
My wife, surely like many, isn't the easiest to talk/offload to ("what about me?" is the usual bite back if I share my experiences on the negative side...plus I give her the monopoly of complaining).
Add to this that having a child means your homebound more and so seeing friends for a pint to unwind takes a backburner (or completely blows up) then this book is pure gold.
Laughter is the best cure for the weight of parenthood, and two men chatting about shared experiences is the best therapy - or rejuvenation - you could hope for.
i listen to this in the car to abd from work, and sometimes ar night time.
This book helps you connect with men's modern day role as a parent, and also makes me remember times with my little princess (daughter) I'd forgotten about. plus i feel like a man sharing his experience is me sharing too.
I love being a dad and I love this book. This book makes me happy, laugh and know that us dads are in this together. it genuinely takes the weight it all and lighten up.
Thanks for wrinkng this, Matt. I owe you a pint!

every parent should read this. I've never laughed or cried so much through any book in all my life!

better than therapy

The best books make you feel like you're not alone. I recognise so much of my own life in this book, but the book is much funnier. I love that Matt reads it himself as somehow it's much better in his accent and wouldn't be the same if someone voice artist from the home counties were reading it.
In short, love it. I'm off to listen again.

A Must for everyone with a small human

Absolutely loved this book and it was so relatable that it had been me chuckling quite a lot!

Gave up on this because of unnecessary swearing (coming from someone who does swear) or as my husband put it... “can you turn off the annoying angry man please”

Annoying
