Description: The world's most popular delinquent reveals all in the only tie-in book to the BIGGEST TV show of 1997! Written and illustrated by Matt Groening, the creator of The Simpsons, Bart Simpson's Guide to Life is chock full of the kind of humour that keeps Simpsons devotees hooked to the show. Including such gems as Dr Bart's Miracle Cures, Homer's Dozen-Donut-A-Day Diet and the beauty secrets of Marge ('Never pluck protruding nose hair' death may result. Instead, use a lightweight Weedwacker') and Homer ('The scent of chili dogs, onions and beer, when eaten in combination, makes women swoon'). With guest appearances by all the great Simpsons characters, including Lisa, Moe, Barney, Millhouse, Krusty the Clown, Groundskeeper Willie, Mr Burns and Smithers. Like the shows themselves, Bart Simpson's Guide to Life has something to please all age groups and is so crammed full of fun that you'll spot something new every time you read it.
