More About the Author

Feed Me I'm Yours, my first book, began as a local fund raising cookbook in 1974 and turned me into an author. I thought it was the only book I'd ever write and then for a while, I thought that each new book would be my last. Was I wrong!

Along the way I also became a publisher. Feed Me I'm Yours was first published from my husband's and my home on Meadowbrook Lane (i.e., Meadowbrook Press). Our company grew very fast as we learned the publishing business. After our divorce 8 years later, I left Meadowbook Press with no plans of being a publisher again. However, as the books I wrote for others went out of print, I established my own imprint, Book Peddlers, which now publishes over half of my 30 titles...including (naturally) Vicki Lansky's Divorce Book for Parents.

When you write parenting books, everyone glances critically at your children. Thank goodness mine had the good grace to turn out well. Despite my mistakes (and they'll be the first to point them out) my thirty-something twosome have survived and thrived in spite of having had a "professional" mother. Lucky me!

I think my mother would be astonished to know that I give out cleaning and household advice to millions of people as a columnist for Family Circle magazine. After all, she 'not I' had made a career of homemaking. In 1988, when Family Circle asked me to be a contributing editor to their "Help" column, I was delighted. This would be a place for me to share "grown-up" tips. I was now moving beyond the days of needing to know that peanut butter removes gum from children's hair!

Writing about household hints has been more of an education than I ever dreamt. I'm often asked what my favorite tip is. Usually it's the one I've not heard before, which is what keeps my work so interesting. My books on Baking Soda tips and Vinegar tips have sold in the hundreds of thousands copies. Amazing. How lucky I am to be able to share so many helpful ideas...and it is good, clean FUN too.

I'm not sure of my next projects as I've decided to cut back a bit on my book life and work a little more on just my life. But I'm never far from my computer and I know there are idea gremlins scrambling around my brain waiting to escape. Stay tuned.....

5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining and to the point, October 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Koko Bear's New Potty (Lansky, Vicki) (Paperback)

This charming story keeps my 23 month old daughters attention. She understands the important message, yet enjoys hearing the story over and over again. Each page has informative potty training foot notes for parents.

2.0 out of 5 stars I was disappointed, June 16, 2000

This review is from: KoKo Doll Potty Book Package (Paperback)

If I had seen this in a bookstore, I would have passed it up. The book is flimsy and the bear is very small. The diaper pants for the bear are very tiny and difficult to put on, so my little boy doesn't really get any benefit from them. I don't care for the format of having parent notes on the same page as the story. In all, very disappointing.

This review is from: KoKo Doll Potty Book Package (Paperback)

I bought this book for my 2 1/2 yr. old daughter. The book does explain to the child the process of learning pottying; however, the book explains that boys stand up to urinate and girls sit down. I thought that was too much information at this point in time. My daughter never plays with the doll.
