review:
'The Fireside Grown-Up Guide to Mindfulness' by Jason Hazeley and Joel Morris combines classic book illustrations with funny captions. Like the other volumes, I had mixed reactions.

The captions are told in large fonts. They are a little funny. Where the humor comes in is with the classic illustration that has been found to match up with the text. Some of the pictures seem idyllic or fantastical, like a chair being pulled by swans or a beautiful woman painting in a window. Some are mundane, like a man working on a huge duct in a factory, or a drab building.

The illustrations are all from Ladybird Books. I didn't grow up with those. Perhaps if they'd used illustrations from Golden Books, I'd be more nostalgic about the series. The captions are marginally funny. Occasionally one really stands out. These would possibly be good gift books for someone who grew up with Ladybird Books.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Touchstone and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
