“She made America laugh at itself — one load of laundry, one PTA meeting, one suburban disaster at a time.”
From the queen of household humor comes a collection of four of her funniest bestsellers in one volume. Whether she’s losing everything in the post‑natal depression, discovering that the grass is always greener over the septic tank, or simply trying to survive the daily circus of family life, Erma Bombeck turns the ordinary into the outrageously funny.
With her sharp wit and warm heart, Bombeck captures the triumphs and tragedies of suburbia — the endless chores, the impossible children, the well‑meaning husbands, and the neighbors who always seem to have it all together. Page after page, she proves that laughter really is the best survival tool.
Erma Bombeck No. 1 is more than a book — it’s a time capsule of family life in all its messy, marvelous glory.
