Toddler 411, second edition by Denise Fields and Ari Brown, M.D.
Pages: 407
Reading Days: Less than 1 day
Sassy Summary: This no-nonsense reference guide aims to save its reader a trip to the doctor’s office by providing easy-to-find answers to common questions (How Often Should My Child Pee?) to advice on handling Picky Eaters. Success! The index and glossary are comprehensive. It’s funny. It’s smart. It’s reassuring. My only complaint is that the organic food recommendations gave me anxiety and made me afraid to put anything in my child’s mouth.
Quotable Writing: Follow the “Two Stop” Rule. Getting in and out of your car with a toddler is an experience itself. With our kids, we always had a two stop rule for Saturday errands–that is, if you have to stop the car more than twice to do errands, you are asking for trouble.
Cheetah or Snail? Cheetah. I skimmed this book in one evening.
Buy or Borrow? Buy. Give it as a gift to a mother on her child’s first birthday.
Book Club Discussion Generator? Negative.
Who should read it? Any caregiver for a child between the ages of 1 and 4 years old.
