My Thoughts About The Book: I have to admit that I was less than thrilled about the title of the book. I believed myself to be a good parent....but had to admit that babies and children do not come with an instruction manual. It was because of that that I chose to review this book. It was hilarious! It was a humorous group of anecdotes at how to survive life with a baby in the house. The preliminary quiz brought tears to my eyes. One of the questions was, "if your kid does have a 100 degree fever do you debate keeping him at home. I was laughing uncontrollable at that moment. I had a child who thought of every illness under the sun to come home from school and one day I told the teacher, "don't call me unless she has a fever of 105 and is writhing in the floor in convulsions." The teacher did not appreciate my sarcasm. I thought I was a scream. This book was my kind of book.
Disclaimer: I received this book from the Net Galley Publishing Groups in an exchange for a fair and honest review.
