Continuing my occasional series on the educational books and leaflets sent home in my son’s schoolbag.

Today in his bag I found a book advertising the services of a local make-up and beauty salon.

Now I’ve always been open minded about boys and make-up, but my son is only four and, at the risk of sounding like Victorian dad, I just wouldn’t feel comfortable sending him to school wearing make-up.

The book offers everything from facials to manicures to Brazilian waxing, full-body tanning to massage.

It’s well produced and laid out. It seems a shame to throw it out,

I’ll keep it until he’s older and can make up his own mind about these things.
