"But has this person ever had children of her own?" This is a common question and complaint voiced about the authors of parenting books. In this sequel to her successful FussBusters at Home: Around-the-Clock Strategies and Games for Smoothing the Rough Spots in Your Preschooler's Day, Baicker-McKee makes clear that she is indeed a parent herself as well as a child psychologist. Written with an earthy sense of humor, her latest book sets out to help parents of small children manage their charges throughout the daunting stresses of daily errands, travel, and ceremonial events with good grace, humor, and even a little fun. In fact, fun is the operative word here, with numerous examples of just how to "make it fun" for those who are creatively challenged. While there is no index, the table of contents is sufficiently detailed for those desiring quick answers. Practical and a joy to read, FussBusters is highly recommended for all parenting and child development collections. Kay Hogan Smith, Univ. of Alabama Lister Hill Lib., Birmingham
