I love Brian Gordon's cartoons. Now that I'm a parent, I can identify with many of them. Not a fan of the alcohol parenting detresser attitude, but I can relate to the coffee.

This was a funny book about the joys and woes of parenting. It did have some foul language, but not bad since it is meant for adults. Each section has a page to 2 page introduction and it has several funny comics. It was a good funny read.

Illustrations: ★★★★☆
What pulled me in was the cover art. I noticed the ducks and it struck me as a familiar character. The colors and style of drawing meshed really well together.

Character Development: ★★★☆☆
The primary focus was father duck and his relationship with his two children. A little boy and girl duckling. I gave it a score of three only because the storyline for the characters didn't develop pass the totally relatable everyday happenstances from father ducks POV.


Flow of the Story:★★★★★
Great! I loved how it went in a very relatable order. My favorite was the 'school' section. As a social worker at an elementary school I laughed the most at this part.

Font: ★★★★☆
Loved the font Gordon chose!

Overall: I really loved this book and I would recommend to any new or experienced parents. I will add that this would not be appropriate for elementary age children in the school setting only because of the language.

Fowl Language records parenthood in a hilarious and enjoyable way. Through comic strips, it documents the life of people once they become parents. A recommended read.

I love these books! They always make me laugh and I can relate to everything here. Brian Gordon does a great job of making you laugh and the notes he includes for each section are heart-felt.

I have read and enjoyed Brian Gordon's previous work as well, True to his signature parenting humor, this collection of comic strips is very funny and enjoyable. Nearly all the situations illustrated will ring true to so many parents out there!

I would like to thank the publisher for giving me a copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

When I saw this book I jumped on it right away. I've been a huge fan of Brian Gordon's ever since first coming across his comics on Facebook. Fowl Language was just what I expected. All the comics were super relatable and showcased some actual problems parents face but with a humorous touch. It makes everything much lighter to know your own struggles are the same or similar to everyone else. It's truly a wonderful thing to be able to laugh and trust me this book will put you right there.

I received an advanced copy of this book via NetGalley and am leaving a voluntary honest review.

Fowl Language is a hilarious webcomic run by Brian Gordon – and this book celebrate some of the funniest moments in one nice compilation (one of several, actually). So if you’re a fan of the duck comics full of child focused humor, then this book will be perfect for you.
Fowl Language: Winging It: The Art of Imperfect Parenting is everything fans could hope for. Some of the series best comics make an appearance here. Naturally, all of them have a focus on children or the comical side effects of having children. It’s a light and refreshing read, one that is sure to make parents all over the world chuckle (and even non-parents can enjoy it as well).
I especially loved the organization within this compilation. All of the single page comics were group together in a way that fit thematically. It really helped with the flow of the book, and possibly even added to the humor at points.
It’s amazing how much personality this series has managed to infuse into their ducks. Or how relatable so many of the comics are. I found myself laughing or groaning, depending on the subject. It was a delightful experience.
Fowl Language: Winging It is a perfect give for any fan of the comics, or for any parent you want to amuse. Especially if you feel that they could use a laugh in their life.

I follow Fowl Language on Facebook and love everything that Brian makes. His funny quips are so spot-on with parenting in general and it's always a treat when I see a new comic posted.

When I saw that he was releasing a book I knew I had to read it, and it does not disappoint! It reminds us through all of our frustrations and joy that we truly are just winging it. As long as we don't raise total asshats for society, we are doing okay!

I am a huge fan of this author and this series but I found the juxtaposition of the written text with the graphics to be a little annoying and for a sort of flair that the comics had before to be missing. I hope the author returns to his original format as it was superior for me, personally.

I love Fowl Language! When I used to have an Instagram account I used to follow it!
I feared a bit that it would feel old and something I already have seen, however, there were so many strips I was not familiar before. Which is a huge plus for me.

There is not much else for me to say, other than if you are not familiar with Fowl Language it's something you should give a chance!

I LOVE Brian Gordon’s Fowl Language comic strip. This book is fantastic. Hilarious. Relatable. Realistic.

As a parent of a 20 month old and a 13 year old it’s so great to have an outlet like this to laugh and how perfectly imperfect I am.

I have reviewed the previous book: Fowl Language: The Struggle Is Real and am a regular follower of the author on Instagram. I jumped at the chance of reviewing an advance copy of this latest collection, and my review is completely based on my own reading experience.

It is different from just reading the comic strips because there is more emotion in the introduction to the chapter in which the author bares his soul than in the comics themselves. Quite a few of them I had previously seen on the frequent posts so they were not much of a surprise. I liked the jokes, the writing but I liked the previous collection better, which does not mean this wasn't funny in its own way. I read it almost as soon as I had access to it and wrapped it up in one sitting.

This collection might appeal to new parents, or parents of children in general even more since it might draw empathetic reactions and parallels to their own experiences.

I absolutely loved this book and devoured it in one sitting, sometimes laughing so hard that my stomach hurt. Brian Gordon's comics about parenting and life never fail to make me chuckle, and I truly believe that this collection includes some of his best work. I cannot wait to gift this book to my best friend who is becoming a new parent this fall - just so she and her husband know that some of these parenting things are normal and universal and funny :)

This was a fun little read. I liked how the animals told the story of growing up in those short comics and panels. The art style was cute and it was a colourful and funny read.

I typically read review books alone, but Brian Gordon's Fowl Language: Winging it caused me to laugh so often that my husband felt compelled to join me in front of my computer. Before long we were both chuckling, much to the consternation of our children who insisted we explain the content of every panel that made us laugh...

To make a long story short, reading this book became an event in and of itself, a family event that left each of us thoroughly tickled by the everyday realities and humor that is so brilliantly captured between these pages.

This book is absolutely adorable. I didn't really know what to expect going into this. I am a mother and I also had a son who was colic. I laughed so much I cried. I only wish I would have had this book when my children were in their younger years. As a parent it is always helpful to know that the tough time you go through and the challenges you face are some of the same that other parents are facing.
Must have for parents to be!

I loved this comic book - for me it was hilarious. It is a great and entertaining read. I think every parent would find something familiar about raising children here and laugh about it.

I have been following Brian Gordon for a few years and have thoroughly enjoyed his Fowl Language comics.
If you have children or been around children, you will laugh your way through this book. So many of these captions are relatable. From a newborn screaming and being a frazzled new parent to kicking them out the door when school starts back up. You will laugh because they are all true. Every single one. You will not feel alone.
Each section is prefaced with a little write-up from the cartoonist and they are just as funny, if not funnier, than the cartoons.
I highly recommend this book for yourself, any parent you know and new parents. Well, we may not want to scare them too badly.
I received an advance reader copy from NetGalley for an honest review.

Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with this book, in exchange for my honest opinion. It will be available to purchase on October twenty second.

Who knew that it would be possible for me to relate so much to a duck? I struggle with reading graphic novels, but I love a good web comic. Back in the day, I used to read Penny Arcade, and comics along those lines. Then, one fated night, long after the cranky baby should have been sleeping, while surfing Facebook in an effort to stay awake myself, I stumbled across two panels of parental hilarity. Finally, someone got it. Being a parent is amazing, a miracle, and I love every moment of it…except the moments that I loathe.

Those times that everyone who’s well-rested claim I’ll look back on fondly? Yeah. This author nails my mixed feelings on those perfectly. The painful struggle that is toilet training? That’s in here too. That moment when I tear up because my oldest isn’t little anymore and why is he growing so freaking fast? Yep, this fowl little parent understands.

This collection of parenting comics is fabulous. If you’ve ever experienced the joys and trials of parenting, especially if you’re in the trenches now and need a little tongue-in-cheek humor, this book is for you.

Be aware that this fowl is a bit foul. He’s also funny and very real. Parents: pick this book up. When you’re done laughing, you’ll thank me.
