Caring for Your Baby and Young Child - 6th Edition - Birth to Age 5
Caring for Your Baby and Young Child - 6th Edition - Birth to Age 5

Review:This is a comprehensive resource for those niggling questions that come up in daily life with a baby--"Is this rash something to be concerned about? How can I tell if he's eating enough?

What to Expect: Eating Well When You're Expecting

Review:The recipies all have a very long ingrediant list and can be pretty complicated. I work alot and was hopping for somthing to just tell me what to eat while pregnet and a halfway simple way to do it.

Top 100 Baby Purees

Review:The recipes were good and easy, probably no combinations I couldn't have come up with on my own, but it was nice to have quantities/ratios spelled out for me. It was also nice in my sleep-deprived state to not have to try and come up with different combinations. I would definitely recommend this book for yourself or as a unique shower gift. Read more

Keeping Children and Teenagers Safe (and Parents Sane)

Helping Your Daughter Survive Cliques - and Other Realities of Adolescence

Review:Great book for counselors to help kids cope with cliques, even though it is written to parents. I have used it in counseling sessions with the girls in the cliques, as well as their targets, to raise their awareness. It has helped change behavior already. It is the best book on girl bullying I have found. Read more

Advice Your Mom Would Give if She Thought You Were Listening

Review:Sounded like an interesting book to read and perhaps share with my daughter who is off to college. I was disappointed. Book is boring and uninteresting. The one star is for the book design and artwork. Don't waste your money Read more

How One Letter Changed Two Lives - I Will Always Write Back
How One Letter Changed Two Lives - I Will Always Write Back

Review:Although this is in the children/teen section of the book store I believe it is a book written for all ages. Especially in today's America, this book is a reminder to stop the self obsession and be kind. One person being kind can have such an impact. We can change our culture one person at a time...one kindness at a time. Read more
