Quick read of cute stories that Kathie Lee has shared and experienced with her son, Cody. The stories made me smile knowingly, laugh out loud, and rejoice. Perfect for any mother.

I received this book as a gift and wanted to quickly read it as a way to thank the gift giver and show I appreciated the thought. I read very quickly as it is just like reading her journal or baby book. it was cute and funny but not something I'll return to. I don't know much about Kathie Lee except for the obvious so it was fun to get to know her a little on the inside and her efforts in donating the funds associated with these book sales to children born crack addicted and HIV positive is admirable. if you are looking for a quick look into the window of motherhood and the "darndest things" kids say, this would be something you could easily read quickly and gain some refreshing laughs and then move on, passing the book along, returning to the library or just sending off to trusty Goodwill.

Slobber and dreck. Banal vulgar and very stupid.
