Now put on your deisnger pyjamas and tuck yourself into your bespoke silk bed sheets and sip your 230 Fifth King Cocoa. It's time for a bedtime story of a type that only the lucky few get. These are not your average bedtime stories with fairies and ogres—these are stories in which Clementine rides off in her private helicopter, and Cucumber fires Nanny 2, and Coriander dresses up as poverty for Halloween, and Crumpet forces Nanny 3 to eat mud, and Caviar is *horrified* that the neighbor's dog doesn't get private French lessons, and Cashew fires Nanny 1.

I made a lot of that up,* but you get the gist. Think short, think verrrrry snarky, think definitely not appropriate for children in need of a bedtime story (except, perhaps, for those from a certain class that I do not rub shoulders with, but what do I know). I'm not sure who the ideal audience is for this, really, but I'm guessing it would go over well as a stocking stuffer or novelty book to keep on a bathroom shelf.

(If your stockings aren't already filled with blood diamonds and your bathroom shelves aren't home to the lesser of your Fabergé egg collection, of course.)

The entire thing is very ridiculous, which is exactly as intended. I think I might have preferred a bit more plot and/or character development (one character followed throughout, as in "My Naughty Little Sister"?), but then that's probably beside the point. In any case, I think you'll know just from the description whether this might be a book for you!

Thanks to the author and publisher for providing a review copy through NetGalley.

*I don't have the book at hand while writing this, so I've picked arbitrary c-named foods for names (very in line with the book, I promise) and also fudged the details of the activities...except for the constant nanny abuse. It's my poor upbringing, I suppose.

The content, both written and drawn, is clever, hilarious, certainly an easy read. Just the kind of book I’d like to read at children’s story time at my local library!

Shorty and wickedly descriptive tales of spoilt children; their portfolios, nannie’s, and often adulterous and drugged parents. Not really sure who the target audience is but it’s a quick and entertaining read. Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for letting me read an advanced copy in exchange for my review.

Filled with inappropriate and hilarious adult satire, this book of “bedtime stories” is perfect for the parent with a warped sense of humor. Foxx makes one think … why do the uber wealthy children not have a bedtime story book that they can connect to? Well now they do, they can relate to children who fire their maids for merely suggesting donating to charity, see other dads buy their mother’s blood diamonds and identify with other children receiving $60,000 for Christmas.
Overall rating 3/5
Obviously this book is for adults who are not offended easily and can see humor in Foxx’s writing. I did feel the stories were funny to a point but I wished this was a shorter picture book style like K is for Knifeball. The different fonts and configuration of writing styles were disjointed and seemed no more than page fillers.

*Thank you to Daniel Foxx, Octopus Publishing US | Monoray, and Netgalley for the ARC copy. I am freely leaving my honest review.

Follow Tarquin, Astrid, and all their friends as they go on holiday and have adventures and new experiences tormenting Nanny 3 and the staff along the way. Full disclosure, I was already a massive fan of Daniel Foxx and already very much looking for to this. So when I was able to get the chance to read the ARC for Bedtime Stories for Privileged Children I jumped on it. This is such an utter delight, especially when shared by reading aloud with friends and family. (Although no one can do it justice like Daniel Foxx himself, wine glass held precariously!) Then there are the illustrations by Axana Zasorina which are absolute perfection giving a retro aesthetic and really complementing the humor.

This is such great fun and will be revisited again and again. I can’t wait to get my hands on a physical copy when it’s released this November. This would make a fun gift or coffee table book. If you enjoy witty satire definitely pick this up and also check out what else the author Daniel Foxx is up too as well!

Thank you very much to NetGalley and the publisher. I received an advance review copy, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

If you are a fan of British comedy, this book is for you. Delightful illustrations accompany these wry stories.

I wondered if this would be all schtick and no carrot, but it’s actually hilarious and delightfully clever.

Overworked nannies, Valium moms, and (oh no!) poor people all become obstacles that our heroes—an over privileged, under empathetic gang of tots—must face each day as they ski, sail, and shop their cares away.

Foxx did a lovely job of keeping this short and sharp and not too repetitive. I actually laughed out loud reading this while sharing bits of it with my husband. Definitely a fun, quick read and a great conversation piece for your bookshelves.

Well, to keep it short this was rude in the best and most unhinged way possible. The jokes got funnier as I went on, or maybe I got used to the humour with time. Absolutely loved how the characters were totally unfazed while saying some horrible stuff.
I recommend this for the deranged adult-children, never for the regular ones.

Holy sarcastic satire! Bedtime Stories for Privileged Children is a collection of illustrated short stories about the extremely privileged offspring of the 1%. This is for the adult that is knowledgeable enough about what it looks like to live like the elite. This is definitely not for children.

Unfortunately, a lot of the references went above my head. I definitely found this entertaining, but it also made me feel bad for the people working for the wealthy (i.e. nannies, etc.).

I think this would be a great gift for a parent of young children. A sense of humor is certainly required. Make sure this doesn’t accidentally end up on your child’s bookshelf!

Thank you to NetGalley, Octopus Publishing US, Monoray, and the author Daniel Foxx for an ARC of Bedtime Stories for Privileged Children in exchange for an honest review!

I'm no great defender of the rich and royal, but I still didn't find this book amusing. The stories and the sarcasm were both too simple. It's like anyone who knows anything about the topic could have written it. Since I did not finish it, this is the only place I will be leaving a review.

I was reading this thinking "This is so rude! Who would want to read this?" and of course, people like me are the intended audience. I am relieved that it's definitely not for children, as the stories are funny but very sarcastic. If you enjoy class satire, this is hilarious. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this.

Short book with funny stories about the children of very wealthy parents. This book isn't for kids, the stories are sarcastic takes on the working class. This would work well as an audiobook but I loved the illustrations

This was genuinely funny. I've seen a few of the videos from the TikTok series but didn't know them very well. he satire was clever. I think it would make a great coffee table book. It did get a bit repetitive so I would suggest not reading it all in one sitting.
Thank you to NetGalley for the change to read it early in exchange for an honest review.

Overall I would give it 3.5 stars

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this book in exchange for an honest review.
This book is hilarious! As I am from the US, some of the writing didn't quite make sense to me but if you're from England or have a good knowledge base of English humor and terms, you'll get a kick out of this book.
The illustrations are funny and each short story is great for adults who have a sarcastic sense of humor.

A gut-busting, rollicking good time of a book.

Have you ever wondered what children's stories would read like if they were for those born into the 1%? Look no further than Bedtime Stories for Privileged Children.

As a fan of Daniel Foxx's hilarious social media videos, reading this book was a hilarious journey with this gifted comedian.

The old-school illustrations perfectly accompany the irreverent tales from children like Astrid and Tarquin, always joined by their wine-guzzling mother and philandering father.

The perfect book to either read by yourself, or aloud with a group.

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book for free in exchange for my honest review.

Funny, short little bedtime stories.
They do need to become an audiobook though. Those work best when Daniel reads them out himself with his glass of wine at dangerous angles!

Snarky humor with a dark ending. It started off meh but then I found it funny when I realized I just wasn't rich enough to find the hilarity. Thankfully, there was a shift towards the middle and ordinary 3rd worlders like me could appreciate the sarcasm. I did NOT like the ending, though. It was just hit way too close to home!

Thank you to NetGalley and Octopus Publishing US for providing this book, with my honest review below.

Daniel Foxx is an Instagram personality I love following and when I saw this book available - the very one he has created through several hilarious reels - I had to pick it up. Bedtime Stories for Privileged Children was everything I remember it being and more. While not something I’d actually read a child (nor anything that’s vividly written) it was hilarious. I kept hearing Daniel’s voice from his reels in the stories and laughing to myself. Pick this one up for some giggles, and if you follow Daniel join me in hoping there’s a follow up book about his gold digger reels!

Bedtime stories for Privileged Children is a collection of very short stories about the overly pampered offspring of disgustingly wealthy people. Not meant for children, the stories are mostly snotty, sarcastic, tongue in cheek observations about the working class and they are, for the most part, genuinely funny. Would make an amusing coffee table book or gift for someone who has an off color sense of humor.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book.
