\"\"<\/a>
\nThe Loomus cartoon strip by Steven Appleby, was commissioned by the Guardian in 2005 to become a feature in their newly redesigned newspaper.<\/p>\n

This book features around 200 Loomus strips and other snapshots of life many of us can recognise and chuckle over.<\/p>\n

At the end of the book, Steven goes into details about his background and the process he goes through to create a cartoon strip.<\/p>\n

It’s a perfect book for parents. After having children, there is a stage of life when you don’t get time to read a book. Approximately the first seven years. These kinds of books are perfect for this stage. You can pick them up and put them down, have a laugh or even commiserate when you find yourself turning the pages of your own life.<\/p>\n
