by Amy Krouse Rosenthal

Book Overview

Bestselling author Amy Krouse Rosenthal's warm and hilarious guide to motherhood "Mother" may be the most underappreciated job title of all time, as any woman who has raised children can confirm.

Customer Reviews

A must have for every parent

This book was laugh out loud funny. Amy is incredibly witty. She finds humor in ordinary family life. After I read this book I realized that my family is actually "normal". I read this book in one night. Once you start reading you will not be able to put it down. After reading this book I felt a sense of relief from the frustrations of the toddler years. Buy it!

Nice to Know I'm Not Alone

I'm beginning to think that Amy has video cameras set up in my house, because so much of what happens in her books, happen in my house. Once again, Amy has written a short, sweet and very funny book about motherhood. Once again, Amy has made me feel like I'm not the only mom who feels like she does -- like taking off as a passenger in a semi one day. A must read for moms!

helpful and amusing

I have read all 3 of Amy's books. They are full of earthy wisdom about child-rearing and motherhood...AND, they're fun and funny to read. I gave this book to a first time mother (over40) who feared that her so-called negative feelings were off the chart. After she read Amy's book, she felt so reassured.Keep up the good work Amy. Write a book about anything and I'll read it.

Not just for mothers

This book is a gem, not just for mothers, but for keen observers of the wonders of everyday life. I'm not yet a mother, one month and counting, but I found this book filled with wisdom and wit. If my experiences can be any where close to those of Amy Krouse Rosenthal I can only guess that I'm going to love this trip down motherhood lane. I also have a feeling I'll be reading Ms. Rosenthal's words again and again searching through these pages for those pearls of advice that I can use in my own life. I hope to see more from this talented and thought provoking author!

Motherhood is a trip!

This book hit my funny bone and struck me deep within the soul. Motherhood is an awesome task. Amy Krouse Rosenthal captures it all with amazing detail and adds a warmth that nestles you deep in the movement of her journey. She made me think : What can I do to be a little better mom...even if it to hear a silly song or story that I have heard a zillion times. To actually open my ears and listen as though I was at the opera. Just that act might make a difference...to Mrs. Rosenthal I raise my sippy cup of juice and salute you !
