Rosenthal's notes are dead on and she writes with a style that makes the most mundane things humorous. Sort of a Seinfeld for parents, except as parents you'll really understand what she's talking about. You may even get a little absolution from the book - for example, in a list of confessions she admits she has let sucking the toothpaste off a toothbrush pass as "brushing". Having kids myself, I can completely understand and picture that situation...

Great stuff...it was a perfect stocking stuffer. Guys, this would be a great book to surprise your wife with for no reason.


Mommy Humor at its finest!   November 29, 2001
Need a good belly laugh? Amy delivers the goods! Hilarious quips all parents can relate to and tender thoughts we share. A great gift for a new mom or a constant Mom!


Good for a "middle-of-chaos" Mommy laugh   May 7, 2001
This was very funny and I've recommended it to several other Mothers. However, do not spend your money on her "Book of Eleven" as it does not compare to this book!


This is funny stuff!   January 29, 2001
This big little book (about 6 inches x 6 inches, 134 pages complete with bizarre index!) of hilarious anecdotes and eclectic observations -- especially of being a parent -- would be a perfect gift for anybody with kids. But you don't have to have kids to appreciate them. Some of these "short nuggets" are laugh-out-loud funny, many are touching, and others are just gems -- "... with three small children, keeping the house tidy is akin to blow-drying the sand between waves." Her section "The Young and the Clueless" -- about those things that were mysteries when we were kids -- is my favorite. These could fill a book themselves. (Please take note, Amy!)


Amy is f-u-n-n-y!   January 7, 2000
It is so refreshing to read a book that is honest! I was so amused by the 'grandparents having an I.V. of gummi worms...' Well done Amy! Now that I know many of my actions are 'normal', at least by Amy's accounts, I feel much better. It was quick reading...I had it done in about 2.5 hours. Thank you Amy!
