'You won't find a singsong entry in this book that says, 'Magic happens' or 'Climb a tree with a child'. There are no pictures of cuddly animals ...It's the stuff I wish somebody, anybody, had told me twenty years ago. "No Tattoos Before You're Thirty" is a collection of witty, modern truths - truths aimed more towards the realities of everyday life than the value of eating your greens. This book is fun, irreverent and crammed with insights into modern life.
