About this listen

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

The side-splittingly hilarious and heart-warming book from your favourite teacher duo and hosts of Two Mr Ps in a Pod(cast)

Remember the distant days of lockdown and those futile attempts to homeschool distracted, disinterested kids?

Parents rejoiced to send them back to school, while teachers prepared to face them all again … Five. Days. A. Week! Coming out the other side of the pandemic years, podcast sensations Lee and Adam Parkinson – aka the Two Mr Ps – bring you the most hilarious, ridiculous anecdotes from inside our primary schools.

Join in on the classroom antics as they share the unexpected pitfalls of online teaching, all the reasons you need a strong stomach to take on Early Years and why not every household item makes a suitable Harry Potter wand …

No time wasted!

From a fellow teacher, a top class listen! Thoroughly enjoyed the audible version as it felt like an extension/recap of the podcast. Loving your work!

If you need to laugh out loud, read this!

A fantastic follow-up to their previous book, full of laughs, silly but relatable stories, and poignant moments, as they review how the pandemic affected school staff, parents and children.

No time wasted here.... hilarious read!

This book will have you literally laughing out loud! I have been a TA for 8 years and the stories in this book are sooooooo very relatable. A few in there that will shock you too! My favourite is when a child takes an animal from the zoo on a school trip ( I won't spoil it and tell you the animal) I actually shrieked 'oh shit' to my shock my 2 year old decided to copy my reaction! 🫣
I listened to the book within 48 hrs of downloading. A great read/listen, highly recommend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Funny and positive!

I have listened to both books now and they are full of funny stories about teaching! As an early years teacher, they truly do resonate with me.

Only problem was when my car accidentally started playing the audio when I started my engine and the section on show and tell started up! ICT issues! 😂

Well done Mr. P & Mr. P!

Mr P’s Real Honest Hilarious

Having listened to the pod from the beginning I couldn’t wait to read the book but I couldn’t get into the book without hearing the epic banter and both audiobooks were entertaining funny and informative. Keep up the good work guys.
