Product Description

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.

This review is from: The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Parenting (Paperback)

I love this book and was well pleased with the quality - it was a gift at a baby shower and everyone thought it was wonderful.

1.0 out of 5 stars Great to read if it's the only book in the house, August 15, 2008

By	Coffee Fan (USA) - See all my reviews

This book is tries to be funny and helpful, but falls short on both fronts. It's useless as a guildine as often times there's no clear distinction between humor and honest advice. There are much much better books available, skip this one...

5.0 out of 5 stars You wont put it down, July 2, 2008

By	S. Frost "cake decorating diva" (GA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I love this little gem of a book. It had me laughing so hard that I was crying. Covers things you never thought possible. Trust me you are ahead of the game with this one. A great shower gift they will be talking about forever!!!
