Critiques
Please don't eat the daisies par Jean Kerr
Jean Kerr, awriter of short comic essays about the ups and downs of suburban america. This was a very successful collection which was translated into a fairly popular film.
Penny Candy is a collection of fifteen hilarious short stories about raising kids, managing your husband, and living life in general. Published in the 60s, it's a bit dated but still funny.
Jean Kerr is best known for her humorous cllection of essays and the resulting stage hit "Please Don't Eat the Daisies." This is a lesser effort, centering on the mishaps of suburban parenting in the 1950's. Not greatly memorable.
I don't know how this book has so many positive reviews. I was glad when it was over. I felt it was dated
