In October 2015, it was announced that Ladybird books would be publishing its first series of books for adults. The eight books, which parody the style and artwork of the company’s books for children, include the titles "The Hangover", "Mindfulness", "Dating" and "The Hipster", and were written by television comedy writers Jason Hazeley and Joel Morris. They were published on 18 November 2015. The series follows a trend of other spoof Ladybird books including "We Go to the Gallery" by Miriam Elia who had previously been threatened with legal action by Penguin. On 5 July 2016, Touchstone Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, announced that they would publish American adaptations of the Ladybird Books for Grown-ups, called The Fireside Grown-Up Guides.
