Thank you for the E Arc. I love these books, you get this delicious juxtaposition of classic art and hilarious captions. They are quick reads but you can easily look at them over and over again. Thanks for another great boo in the series!

Gorgeous classical art from throughout the ages is narrated with sardonic witticisms in Nicole Tersigni’s latest small humorous collection, “Parenting Advice to Ignore in Art and Life,” the third in her series of tiny treasures that make great laugh-out-loud gifts for all parents, teachers and childcare workers.

TheBookMaven graciously thanks NetGalley, Author Nicole Tersigni, and Publisher Chronicle Books for this Advance Readers Copy (ARC).

Even though I did not find this one as a funny as the previous two I still enjoyed it. I love to see the different pieces of art and the wit that is put with them. I follow the author on Instagram and always look forward to their new posts. Such a creative and fun idea. Perfect little gift book for friends and family.

Following on the heels of her other two books that took famous paintings and imagining what was really going on in them, this book, Parenting Advice to Ignore in Art and LIfe, takes on famous paintings and imagines they are dispensing advice. Each of the paintings is pared with typical advice that you hear when you go out in public with a baby, Funny that these are universal things that are said to mothers.

But then, the author will throw in something that probably no one has ever said such as a mother and daughter playing and the daughter impores the mother to not have her rooster character discuss paying taxes and paying bills.

With her other books, we had a wde variety of different photos, but because most of the jokes are about babyhood and toddler age, most of the images are ofMaray, the mother of Jesus, and Jesus. It can get repetition, even though it is the exactly same picture

If you have ever been a parent, you have probably heard some of thse lines. And if you have given these lines to women and children, you should be ashamed of yourself.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review. This book is coming out from Chronicle books the 22nd of October, 2023.

This was such a lighthearted and funny reading experience!

I’ve seen the other set of books by the author around my bookstore and now I know to add them to my list to read!

This book is positively hilarious. I’m going to buy a copy for my sister in law!

This is like… a coffee table meme book about parenting, but I found it super funny. I’m not a parent (yet), but I am a teacher, and I really liked it.

Parenting Advice to Ignore in Art and Life was a really funny book, of ridiculous things said to parents laid over some gorgeous artwork. This would make a great gift for a new parent. Super funny.

Funny and irreverent. The combination of sass and classical paintings is always a winning combination for me (I also loved Friends to Keep in Art and Life) and this one is no exception. The quotes are well matched to the selected paintings and multiple pages got bookmarked to share and circle back to. I love that all the paintings' information (museum, artist, etc) is in the back on the book so I could look up any painting that I really loved.

I think this is a great gift for any parent who is in need of some lighthearted joy.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and laughed out loud. I did read Men to Avoid in Art and Life and this book is just as much fun. Even the introduction is fantastic. Laugh and enjoy this book. Classic art combined with silly narratives, what is there not to enjoy? I grew up reading the Mad Magazine articles of Stupid Answers to Silly Questions, and this series of books is just plain goofin with classic art and the silly advice humans give each other. So, yes, this grandfather found this book very, very funny.
