Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

The "Queen of Helpful Hints" (for parents), strikes again, this time with the "outrageous" notion that you shouldn't throw away stuff other books say you should and with practical tips that cost nothing. In the first category, for instance, an inflatable wading pool can go under a bed to store out-of-season toys. In the second, you can make a baby bonnet hold its shape by drying it on a balloon. You get the idea. This fun and useful small-format book will slip right in among however many other of Lansky's two dozen titles you already stock. Jo Peer-Haas
