This review is from: The World According to Toddlers (Paperback)

This book makes me laugh out loud . . . and sometimes cry with laughter . . . pretty much every time I pick it up. I sent copies to several of my mommy friends and they all said the same thing - they were crying with laughter. Its funny because its true! It helped many of us keep perspective on raising a toddler (sometimes you have to laugh!) during challenging times. If you are not in the midst of raising a toddler or just finished raising one, you may not find it as hilarious. But for us, it was perfect and perfectly timed!!

This review is from: The World According to Toddlers (Paperback)

This book is hilarious!! It perfectly captures what living with a toddler is like. Plus, because of the way it's written, you can easily zip through a few pages whenever you need a good laugh; that's hugely important since, when you have a toddler, you don't have a lot of free time and you oftentimes need a good laugh.

The illustrations are laugh-out-loud funny and the toddler handbook pages are spot-on.

If you have a toddler in your life (or know someone who does) I highly recommend you get this book. It would make a great baby shower gift too!

This book is GREAT! After a frustrating day with a toddler it really helps me see things from a better point of view. I was crying laughing the first time I read it. Even if you have not experiences the joy of parenting a toddler, it is funny. I've given this book to all of my friends who are new parents - and also to my parents to "prep" them for a visit! A must read!
