From Lindsay Weiss of the Momformation blog on ParentCenter:
"Anyway, I can’t recommend this book highly enough. I might not get another book read this entire year, but this one will get dog-eared sitting by my bedside. It reminded me that parenting can be fun and productive."
From the Viva La Feminista website:
"Bottomline, Holewa and Rice give us a book that will help us in crafting considerate children. Not to mention perhaps save our sanity at the same time."
