Don't you just love the title? Well, you would if you were me.

I love AKR's books for kids and adults. She makes me wish I'd thought of the things she says. Here's a quote that is really applicable in my house right now: "The only things my kids share easily and willingly are colds."

Very cute. A great bathroom read, has short parenting bits that are funny and oh so true.
