Why I chose this book

Having been a parent myself, I know we all need humor in our lives. This book is hysterical. I loved reading about all the very common kid disasters. If they haven’t happened directly to my family, I knew of them happening to others. Not only was this book written with great humor, the author provided the common sense answers to the situations. I recommend this book even to those with no children at home just because laughter is good medicine for the soul.

What others said about this book

“Kid Disasters and How to Fix Them could be considered a parent’s version of The Worst Case Scenario meets Hints from Heloise, with a little Dr. Spock thrown in. Everyday traumas, from crayons through the wash, to heads stuck in between stair railings, are covered in detail, complete with solutions, helpful hints and interesting bits of information that you never thought you’d need—until you became a parent.”—Nancy Nash-Cummings, Nationally syndicated columnist
