The Perfect Baby Handbook - A Guide for Excessively Motivated Parents

New parents are hipper, more educated, and more sophisticated than ever, but they''re also highly competitive--a lethal combination when turbocharged by the anxieties of raising a baby. And for many couples, it''s not just any baby, but the perfect baby. These "excessively motivated" parents will not sabotage Junior''s future by denying him Mandarin lessons, a nursery chandelier (just like the one Gwyneth''s kids enjoy), or advanced infant yoga. A hilarious, highly visual satire of childrearing manuals, The Perfect Baby Handbook provides much-needed comic relief from the pressures of modern parenting, and gives comfort to moms and dads who can say with a sigh of relief, "At least, we''re not this bad."

Bericht

"The perfect guide for all those new parents and parents-to-be who are starting to realize that the "perfect baby" may not, in fact, exist in nature. Delightfully absurd, thoroughly imaginative, and very funny." Christie Mellor, author of The Three-Martini Playdate
