Something You Didn't Know About Me....

TITLE: Nickelodeon Rugrats Guide to Adulting
PUBLISHER: DK Publishing
PUBLISHING DATE: October 2, 2018

FROM GOODREADS: 

Master the struggle of everyday adult life with help from everyone's favorite babies! Relive classic moments from the beloved 90s Nickelodeon TV show Rugrats. 

90s kids might be all grown up now, but adulting is hard work. The Nickelodeon Rugrats: Guide to Adulting is a nostalgic guide to relationships, work, and living a healthy lifestyle from iconic Rugrats characters including Tommy Pickles, Chuckie Finster, and Grandpa Lou. Even outspoken Angelica is on hand with some hard-hitting truths on how to live your best life. Packed with throwbacks to the original animated series, this bold and colorful book is the perfect gift for twenty-something fans of Nickelodeon who are still dumb babies at heart.

Produced in collaboration with Nickelodeon, the Nickelodeon Rugrats: Guide to Adulting is an affectionate and amusing reflection on modern life, for a new generation of adults who have fond memories of their favorite childhood cartoons. 

MY THOUGHTS: So I'll let you in on a secret.  I used to watch a lot of Rugrats, along with Doug.  Does anyone even remember Doug and his dog Porkchop?  I enjoyed Tommy Pickles and his sister Angelica, Chuckie Finster and even Baby Dil.  So when I was browsing the graphic novel selection at one of my local libraries one day and saw this, I knew it was going home with me.

Basically this is just a cute short book of adult lessons spelled out Rugrats style.  They are all sharing rules they learned as kids which easily translate over to adulthood.  The artwork is colorful and fun.  This book lends itself to nostalgia so basically if you aren't a fan, I really can't recommend you pick it up.  However, if you are a closet Rugrats fan like me, it's good for a few chuckles.

    1. Such cute cartoons. There doesn't seem to be a lot of cartoons out in the same style now although I do enjoy Teen Titans.

    1. It was and it took over 1/2 hour one night while I was watching the playoffs so that's a plus.

  4. I have watched so much of this show. This was really popular when my 25 year old was little and it was one of the shows that I didn't mind so much. This looks like a fun one, Barb!

    1. Yea, some cartoons are downright annoying. When my cousins lived with my Gpa, their daughter was obsessed with Pepa Pig. I would shove forks in my eyes if I had to watch that show too long!

    1. I think I actually liked Doug a tad bit more but there was a dog so that's to be expected right?

  8. I never watched either of the shows you mentioned. I'm not really a cartoon kind of person. The last I watched was back when I was at college!

  9. Good for a few chuckles - is that a pun? Lol
    I did used to watch the Rugrats although not all the time, I've always been a bit sporadic with tv. This sounds like a fun and nostalgic read though.
