DESCRIPTION:
"Full of lists articulating things that every parent has probably thought of at some point, but simply hasn't had the dedicated pen or writerly chops Good has."
Each list captures a perfect (or perfectly terrible) aspect of parenthood while wholeheartedly embracing every moment: "You Deserve a Break" offers ideas for downtime, such as giving blood and untangling cords, while "Self-Help from a Three-Year-Old" collects such wisdom as "If you fall down, stay down. Jason Good delivers a laugh-out-loud reminder that everything is easier and more fun when approached with a sense of humor--especially parenting. Someone will pick you up eventually." Sweet, sincere, and oh-so-true, this is the ideal gift

I couldn’t pick a favorite list or even my top ten, because they were all bril. A book of lists of parenting experiences than any parent can relate to and get a few grins from reading I'm always up for a good laugh.

The book isn't fantastic, but it certainly isn't dull, and there are plenty of things in the book that all parents will be able to relate to.Like the title says, this is a book of lists, as such,
