A Wonderful Book on Raising a Toddler

This book is great. It quickly gets to the point and offers succinct, relevant, and accurate advice for raising a toddler. My wife has been struggling with our little 19-month-old girl, and I picked up this book to help her. She says that it has been a godsend. The only unfortunate part is that we didn't come across this little gem sooner. This may be the only book for raising a toddler that you'll ever need. Throw out the big, fat manuals. This is what you need.

excellent

This book is very informative in a non-reference kinda way. While it's laid out like a car owners manual, it can be used for direct reference to whatever you are looking for. However, it is also writing chronologically, so that you can start from the beginning, and read along as your baby grows. Its written in a half sarcastic/playful manner which keeps you entertained while learning or verifying information. Definitely something a parent should not go without, if not just for entertainment.

Great for young techie dads!

When my son-in-law Drew returned from deployment, my grandson was 13 months old. Drew was anxious to get to know his son and help my daughter take care of him, but he had not had much experience with little ones. Drew's catching on real fast, but this book is a help to him. The technical-style language reminds me of my cell phone or computer instruction books (in a humorous way) and is truly geared to a guy's way of thinking. The information is reliable, concise, and organized for quick reference as well as cover-to-cover reading. So if Drew needs to pack a diaper bag for a day trip, or if Ryan gets a boo-boo while mommy's shopping, he has a go-to answer book in the Toddler Ownder's Manual. The author should think about selling this to the Department of Defense to distribute to dads returning home, it should be required reading!
