Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Jean Kerr, author, playwright, and wife of theater critic Walter Kerr, has invited all of us to join her in the madcap life she describes as a (real life) suburban working mother of four boys. Although dated, these 1957 vignettes into the Kerr household, read here with ease by Marni Webb, suggest that without a heavy dose of humor, any Mom is liable to end up on a psychiatrist's couch at $25 an hour. For example, if you don't remember to tell your child what not to do (usually something completely unimaginable and totally outrageous), there she will be, doing it, having conceived the impossible and actualizing it herself. Recommended for libraries with older audio listeners who want to recall the nostalgic 1950s.AKristin M. Jacobi, Eastern Connecticut State Univ., Willimantic

From AudioFile
This timeless audiobook, originally published in 1957, sounds as fresh as a daisy. Kerr writes about family life, pets, the New York theater culture and everything else from dieting to having an operation. She tells tales of raising four young sons and trying to keep her head above water as a playwright. These tapes sound like two hours of stand-up comedy. Webb delivers it in a deadpan manner with appropriate pauses for laughter. Her tone conveys the frustration and hilarity of being a young mother trying to survive in a rough environment. A.G.H.
