  With a devilish toddler and baby number two on the way, Rachel’s big dream is to one day go to the toilet on her own. So, she’s surprised to discover that her husband has found the time to have an exciting affair while she’s been bringing up their family. 
  Suddenly, Rachel is left wrangling with a child who will only eat crackers and a 35-week bump. She knows even Mumsnet isn’t going to solve this. 
  What Rachel needs is a handsome, good-with-children, single man. But she can barely leave the house without a stain on her top and child on her hip. How on earth can she claim her life back, let alone thinking about dating?

And the dark young men both sought for it at once, and they met suddenly beneath the table, and soon they were speaking swift words to one another, and a horror and an impotence came over the Reason of each as she sat helpless at the back of the mind, and the heart of the orange laughed and the woman went on smiling; and Death, who was sitting at another table, tete-a-tete with an old man, rose and came over to listen to the quarrel.

  This wildly entertaining book is laced with wicked concepts, cheap shots, and a few bright ideas; a feast of funny words and clever notions without once mentioning vampires, aliens, or zombies. J. M. Chamberlain created the perfect blend of madcap rants and true-life experiences regarding his years on the road as a stand-up comedian, actor, and writer; a compilation of rapid-fire essays guaranteed to put a never-ending smile on your face. Actually, a never-ending smile might be cause for alarm; if your smile lasts longer than four hours, the author suggests phoning your family physician. In addition, J.M. Chamberlain gives the reader/listener insight into the day-to-day experiences that make our collective heads tilt like puppies unraveling high-pitched noises and howl at the moon. At the end of the day, J.M. Chamberlain has the uncanny ability to dissect the human condition and reassemble the parts into a creative, imaginative, and hilarious profile. Simply put, this extraordinary slice of life is almost too good to read; nevertheless, I suggest reading it anyway. I also suggest telling forty or fifty of your closest friends to read/listen to Tiny Yellow Hat. Why? Because, now more than ever, people need to laugh.
