  <description><![CDATA[Trust us, oh ye parents of preschoolers: find the time to read this  book! Absurdly entertaining and horrifically accurate, <em>Preschool Confidential</em> captures the mind-boggling hysteria of life with your own batch  of little rascals. Bringing up real-life topics such as &quot;The True Story of the Babysitter&quot; and &quot;The Birthday Party,&quot; humorist Sandi Kahn Shelton (<em>Sleeping Through the  Night and Other Lies</em>) reminds us all that no one has all the answers,  it's always better to laugh, and your child isn't the only one planning on  growing up to be a kitty. <p> Shelton's book is perfect to read when you're having a bad day. She understands  why moms end up saying things like &quot;If you don't stop jumping on the kitchen  counter with Barbie's leg in your hand, you're going to put out your eye and  then I won't take you to the circus.&quot; It's also perfect to read on your good  days, when you're having a laugh about the mysterious cult of the noodle that  children enter upon their third birthday. Shelton also manages to add a useful  perspective about tricky subjects like &quot;explaining about the bad guys without  scaring everyone to death,&quot; and why mom is bellybutton lint while the teacher is  a goddess. <p> Best of all, you'll remember life before minivans, before you had toilet paper  stockpiled behind the couch--back when you took uninterrupted conversations for  granted and went to the gym to feel good, not to lose those post-pregnancy  pounds. Being a mom is important, but so is being a person, and Shelton's warmth  and humor are sure to help you find your self and your sanity hiding underneath  all those sticky layers of peanut butter. <em>--Jill Lightner</em></p></p>]]></description>

    <![CDATA[Trust us, oh ye parents of preschoolers: find the time to read this  book! Absurdly entertaining and horrifically accurate, <em>Preschool Confidential</em> captures the mind-boggling hysteria of life with your own batch  of little rascals. Bringing up real-life topics such as &quot;The True Story of the Babysitter&quot; and &quot;The Birthday Party,&quot; humorist Sandi Kahn Shelton (<em>Sleeping Through the  Night and Other Lies</em>) reminds us all that no one has all the answers,  it's always better to laugh, and your child isn't the only one planning on  growing up to be a kitty. <p> Shelton's book is perfect to read when you're having a bad day. She understands  why moms end up saying things like &quot;If you don't stop jumping on the kitchen  counter with Barbie's leg in your hand, you're going to put out your eye and  then I won't take you to the circus.&quot; It's also perfect to read on your good  days, when you're having a laugh about the mysterious cult of the noodle that  children enter upon their third birthday. Shelton also manages to add a useful  perspective about tricky subjects like &quot;explaining about the bad guys without  scaring everyone to death,&quot; and why mom is bellybutton lint while the teacher is  a goddess. <p> Best of all, you'll remember life before minivans, before you had toilet paper  stockpiled behind the couch--back when you took uninterrupted conversations for  granted and went to the gym to feel good, not to lose those post-pregnancy  pounds. Being a mom is important, but so is being a person, and Shelton's warmth  and humor are sure to help you find your self and your sanity hiding underneath  all those sticky layers of peanut butter. <em>--Jill Lightner</em></p></p>]]>

Bringing up real-life topics such as &quot;The True Story of the Babysitter&quot; and &quot;The Birthday Party,&quot; humorist Sandi Kahn Shelton (<em>Sleeping Through the  Night and Other Lies</em>) reminds us all that no one has all the answers,  it's always better to laugh, and your child isn't the only one planning on  growing up to be a kitty. <p> Shelton's book is perfect to read when you're having a bad day. She understands  why moms end up saying things like &quot;If you don't stop jumping on the kitchen  counter with Barbie's leg in your hand, you're going to put out your eye and  then I won't take you to the circus.&quot; It's also perfect to read on your good  days, when you're having a laugh about the mysterious cult of the noodle that  children enter upon their third birthday. Shelton also manages to add a useful  perspective about tricky subjects like &quot;explaining about the bad guys without  scaring everyone to death,&quot; and why mom is bellybutton lint while the teacher is  a goddess. <p> Best of all, you'll remember life before minivans, before you had toilet paper  stockpiled behind the couch--back when you took uninterrupted conversations for  granted and went to the gym to feel good, not to lose those post-pregnancy  pounds. Being a mom is important, but so is being a person, and Shelton's warmth  and humor are sure to help you find your self and your sanity hiding underneath  all those sticky layers of peanut butter. <em>--Jill Lightner</em></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Trust us, oh ye parents of preschoolers: find the time to read this  book! Absurdly entertaining and horrifically accurate, <em>Preschool Confidential</em> captures the mind-boggling hysteria of life with your own batch  of little rascals. Bringing up real-life topics such as &quot;The True Story of the Babysitter&quot; and &quot;The Birthday Party,&quot; humorist Sandi Kahn Shelton (<em>Sleeping Through the  Night and Other Lies</em>) reminds us all that no one has all the answers,  it's always better to laugh, and your child isn't the only one planning on  growing up to be a kitty. <p> Shelton's book is perfect to read when you're having a bad day. She understands  why moms end up saying things like &quot;If you don't stop jumping on the kitchen  counter with Barbie's leg in your hand, you're going to put out your eye and  then I won't take you to the circus.&quot; It's also perfect to read on your good  days, when you're having a laugh about the mysterious cult of the noodle that  children enter upon their third birthday. Shelton also manages to add a useful  perspective about tricky subjects like &quot;explaining about the bad guys without  scaring everyone to death,&quot; and why mom is bellybutton lint while the teacher is  a goddess. <p> Best of all, you'll remember life before minivans, before you had toilet paper  stockpiled behind the couch--back when you took uninterrupted conversations for  granted and went to the gym to feel good, not to lose those post-pregnancy  pounds. Being a mom is important, but so is being a person, and Shelton's warmth  and humor are sure to help you find your self and your sanity hiding underneath  all those sticky layers of peanut butter. <em>--Jill Lightner</em></p></p>]]>
