- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I don't generally read comics or graphic novels but I just LOVE Fowl Language! Any parent will appreciate the honesty that is portrayed on each page. My absolute favorite has got to be the "Bathroom Rules". Completely spot on and hilarious take on the everyday struggles of parenthood. I would definitely buy for all my friends with kids and first time parents.
*I received this book from Netgalley for an honest review* - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Fowl Language: The Struggle Is Real by Brian Gordon is a book I requested from NetGalley and the review is voluntary. I think I laughed, smiled, or smirked with each and every cartoon because I could relate after having four boys! The expressions and situations were hilarious and so on target with what parents are feeling and what they go through! I don't normally enjoy ever single cartoon in a book so I was pleasantly amazed when I was entertained by the craziness of this fun family. Thanks!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This collection of comics can be started at almost any page in the book. The comic is an internet based one and easy to find. But this collection is perfect to give to someone you know that has kids or knows what it is like to live with small children. There is some potty humor in here but it all really appropriate. I was certainly giggling at more than one panel in this book.
Digital review copy provided by the publisher through NetGalley - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is the second Fowl Language book I have read and I still laughed at many of the jokes because I could identify with them. This book was a little different as after the joke, there was another panel that wasn't as funny, so I enjoyed the other one much better. I did see myself and my children on many of these pages and love that my son is going through this now with his own children. The fact that the characters are ducks makes it just a little cuter. I think the funniest pages for me were the meal one and the healthy snack one. I could hear those words coming out of my mouth. There is also mention of social media which is so prevalent in our society. A cute book for soon to be parents or for those fearing empty nest syndrome. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via Netgalley.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Not as strong as the first book, but this webcomic still offers some amusingly foul takes on being a father.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Pretty similar to the last volume, this time, there's a joke on the left page, with a follow-up punch-line joke on the right page.
Same as before, but still pretty funny and true to parenting and life. (For example, its 1AM, and my 9-year old keeps coming down stairs every 5 minutes asking if its morning yet....) - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Brian Gordon hits the mark with Fowl Language: The Struggle Is Real. This collection of comics takes as its subject parenting, namely the situations that can make parents crazy.The humor is both laugh out loud good and also spot on in portraying many of the situations. Who knew ducks experienced the same parenting obstacles that humans do? Amazing!Highly recommended for anyone but especially parents and, in my case, grandparents. Seems the longer time since parenting young children makes the humor so much less painful.Reviewed from a copy made available by the publisher via NetGalley.

Fowl Language - Brian Gordon
Introduction
When I became a parent, I was sure I was going to ruin my kids at any moment and lived in constant fear of making a single mistake. Unfortunately, my mistakes began in the delivery room and have persisted ever since.
I’m happy to report, however, that my kids are way more resilient than I give them credit for. Despite their fragile appearance, evolution has seemingly hardened small children against numbskull parents like myself.
If anything, I’m the one who’s taken a beating.
The sleepless nights, the constant worry, and the endless bickering have all taken a toll on my body
