The main purpose of ''Bart Simpson's Guide to Life is to give supposedly helpful tips and advice on how to cope with life (including parents, peers, school, romance, health, and manners) as experienced by the fictional character Bart Simpson from the animated television series The Simpsons''. Although, as noted by Nancy Basile of About.com, "one should be cautious when accepting advice from the child who spends much of his school time at the blackboard writing punishments." ==Reception==

Nancy Basile of About.com gave ''Bart Simpson's Guide to Life'' a five out of five rating, commenting: "This book is a bargain. You'll get a lot of laughs for a lot less than other cartoon books. [...] If you're a Bart fan, you must own this book. If you're a fan of The Simpsons, you'll love this book. If you're just getting to know our favorite family, you should pick up this book to enjoy some giggles at new jokes and Bart's past adventures. Every fan will love this book, the first, second and third time." ''Bart Simpson's Guide to Life was included on a list of "30-plus actual books written by fictional TV characters" by authors of The A.V. Club''. They wrote that because "characters have developed and the show's voice has changed, ''Bart's Guide To Life is understandably a bit dated 17 years later (see the reference to Simpsons'' bootleg shirts), but like a lot of the books on this list, it's a souvenir from a different pop-cultural age." ==References==
