Mum in a Million / Do-It-Yourself-Dad

A Macmillan 2-books-in-1 'Flipper' where you read one story then literally flip the book over to read the other. Mum routinely goes food shopping and becomes 'Mum in a Million' through being the millionth customer and also through (wisely?) giving her prize holiday in Florida to the rest of the family. In Do-It-Yourself-Dad the same Mum makes good Dad's questionably successful DIY, hurting his feelings, but then there's a brilliant suggestion by their son (who's the first-person teller of both tales) to role swap. With plentiful, fun illustrations any independent reader will appreciate all aspects of this book.
