One of those humorous looks at parenthood and all the fun adventures children bring. I'll make you chuckle!
Humorous look at parenting. The IM slang is a tad alarming. If anybody actually used the words "skrilla" I'd laugh at them until they wet themselves and cried.
In among the hillarious ideas that we'd all love to try with our kids or suggestions that are (I hope) intended to show us how silly parenting can be sometimes (ie, child-proofing the house) are some actual useful tips, like how to get gum out of hair. There's also a great script for the Birds and the bees speech. Not quite the owners manual parents always wish we had, but it's still cute and fairly useful.

When I found out I was pregnant I went crazy in finding books about pregnancy and delved right in. While many of these books provide a lot of good, in-depth, information, I quickly became overwhelmed. So I finally chose to pick up this little book. I’ve read other books in this series and I’ve always found them informative (although not in-depth) but also funny. Luckily this book was the same way and sometime all an overwhelmed mommy-to-be needs is a little light reading and humor to make her realize pregnancy isn’t quite as immense as she thought. It has good information, fun tidbits, cute little charts, and section for the dads. Maybe not the know-all of everything pregnancy but definitely a great starter book and a fast read (it only took me a few hours to get through this 224 page book).
