The Kids' Book of Questions: Revised for the New Century

This Little Book Will Generate Some Great Conversations

A review on: The Kids' Book of Questions: Revised for the New Century
by Kim
Kim

Pros: Wonderful conversation starters

Cons: Not for little kids

I got this book as a supplemental piece to my Family Table Topics Kit.  It's been WONDERFUL in generating meaningful, thought-provoking conversations with our kids (ages 13 and 9).  My daughter thought it was a silly idea that I even bought it (Why do we need THAT, Mom?!)... but she turned out to get the one who likes it the most.  The first time we used it she didn't want to...

Let's Pretend This Never Happened: (A Mostly True Memoir)

Let's Pretend This Never Happened: (A Mostly True Memoir)

1 Review

“Jenny Lawson is a hilariously funny, sharp-witted blogger (thebloggess.com).  Let's Pretend This Never Happened reads more like a collection of blog entries, less like a memoir.  That is obviously her forte.  It will have you laughing out loud many, many times (you may want to avoid reading it in waiting rooms, while your husband is trying to sleep or while drinking soda). If laughter is the...” --Kim

“ I picked up this book at the library after having a few heated arguments with my soon-to-be teenage daughter.    I figured anything that could help me communicate with her and build upon our relationship would be worth my time in reading it.  This book didn't disappoint. While I'm only halfway through it at the moment, I've already gained some great insight into why teens tune...” --Kim

“ This is a great story, Alison had me engaged in the story right from the beginning.  You can tell she was writing from the heart.  I liked hearing stories from the filming of Little House as well as other stories about her life off the set.  I was especially intrigued at her relationship with Melissa Gilbert, since on the show their characters were enemies, I had no idea that...” --Dewdrop75

“ I cried until I laughed and laughed until I cried.  This is a must read for all moms that have been peed on, have been woken in the middle of the night by a sick child, wished they could sit down in order to eat a meal, and loved every moment of the best job in the world.  Face it, we have all been there, and this book lets us know that we are not alone.  The author...” --Susan72467

Solve Your Child's Sleep Problems: New, Revised, and Expanded Edition

1 Review

“ I read this book when my daughter was about nine months old (the older edition) after struggling to get her to sleep through the night.  Within a week, we understood why she was waking and what to do about it.  It did involve letting her cry (not easy to hear) but it only took a few days.  My only regret was not buying it sooner!  I recommend this book to anyone struggling...” --Kim
