'Shhh! You must solemnly swear to use this wonderful collection of poetry only in non‐mum settings! When it’s time for a bit of silly, stinky, crazy fun, dads can really shine (or smell!).

'Tim Healy’s collection of verse is a dad‐friendly zone, taking a hilarious approach to all the yucky (and fun) things that mum just may not care for.

'Springing from real‐life scenarios, and some fantastical creations of fiction too, Don’t Tell Mum is a great way for dads to get stuck into the fun of reading and rhyme with their kids, all while touching on subjects dads can relate to. Tim wants dads to get silly with their kids, and relieve some of the seriousness that can come along with being a modern father.' (Publication summary)
