Book Description

Worst Case Scenario November 2003
Forget quicksand and shark attacks, child-rearing is the truly terrifying activity. A screaming baby on an airplane, no diapers (!), monsters hiding in the closet, a long family car trip, the first date—these are the high-risk adventures you need to survive. Fortunately, the authors of the phenomenally best-selling Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook series now keep parents safe, from cradle to teens. Hands-on, step-by-step instructions show you how to remove objects stuck in a child's nose or gum stuck in hair, and how to survive endless soccer games, slumber parties, and sleep deprivation. From baby-proofing the house to dealing with a dead pet, from the perils of the play-date to explaining about the birds and the bees, this essential guide tells parents what to really expect when your worst-case scenario is all in the family.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious And Helpful, August 19, 2005
This review is from: The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Parenting (Paperback)
This book is extremely hilarious with illustrations of mothers using strollers as scooters, but it also does have some actual help like how to make a make-shift crib or how to tell a teenager has sneaked out of the house at night. Overall, an extremely funny book.
