Wonderful!, 20 Jul, 2007

This is one of my favorite books. I love the way that Diane Levy writes in a warm, humourous style that is entertaing to read and yet you pick up little tips and lessons along the way. This book is perfect to have by your bedside table, and you can just read one short, funny article / chapter at a time. Just the right length for an exhausted mum to digest! You're also left with the feeling - "my kids are actually normal - other parents face just the same challenges!". I would highly recommend this book.

I grabbed this book off my wife's bedstand one night when I didn't have anything else to read. At first I thought it would be a bit "girly" but it soon had me laughing out loud. Diane Levy has a good sense of humour, and manages to teach you things without ramming them down your throat. This is a fun book to read - especially if you've got preschoolers.

I was bought this a few years ago. I loved the magazine type articles that could be read in the few minutes we have spare between chores. Its hard to find an article for a specific question though.
