About this listen

More inept, more clueless and more exhausted than ever, the man behind the blogging phenomenon Man vs Baby is back with the latest instalment in his (and his son Charlie's) journey through the chaos and comedy of parenting

In the follow-up to the critically acclaimed Sunday Times bestseller Dummy (April 2017) comes Man vs. Toddler - the story of what happens when your little one is transformed from an innocent bundle of joy into a creature that walks, talks... and craps in a plastic bucket in the middle of your living room.

Man vs Toddler exposes the lie that, that when it comes to parenting 'it gets easier'. But it is just as honest, foul-mouthed and heart-warming as Matt's first book, and will have you laughing and crying with recognition as he shares his observations and advice on everything from tantrums to the horrors of soft-play.

Critic reviews

A hero for dads everywhere
Very, very funny (Phillip Schofield)
Hilarious but accurate account of finding your feet as a parent ... Matt Coyne's post has struck a chord with parents from all over the world
Brutally honest rant on the reality of parenthood has taken the internet by storm

The best books make you feel like you're not alone. I recognise so much of my own life in this book, but the book is much funnier. I love that Matt reads it himself as somehow it's much better in his accent and wouldn't be the same if someone voice artist from the home counties were reading it.
In short, love it. I'm off to listen again.

Such a funny, heart felt book. Had me laughing out loud. Very touching and reminds you how wonderful toddlers are and that it's ok to feel overwhelmed sometimes.
