Peter Corey (born 1946) is the author of the Coping With... children's book series. The series targets youngsters using humour. He is also the author of books of non-humorous nature. He has also written scripts for many television programmes and he has played characters in dramas and soap operas.
I love the coping with series. I think Coping with friends and coping with the twenty first century are invaluable aids to life. Even re-reading them around ten years later they were good enough that I scoured the net and bought all ten of the coping with series I could get my hands on, mostly second-hand. Unfortunately this one was frankly speaking terrible. It wasn't funny in the least after the first few pages, and none of the characters made an appearance after their introduction. I read this in around half an hour but I'd suggest meditation as a better use of your time. This just felt like a rushed book deal.
