The eagerly awaited sequel to A BUN IN THE OVENNow you have a baby, what on earth are you going to do with it? In KIDWRANGLING, author Kaz Cooke delivers up-to-date, reliable child-rearing information... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I picked up a baby book when my wife first got pregnant and as at the time it all seemed along way off, I couldn't stick with any - frankly it all seemed a bit too much. I picked this up at the start of the third trimester and devoured it in days - all of a sudden reality and humour replaced dread. I realised I was on to something. It is pragmatically divided in to sections like Bottoms, Feeding, Sleeping, etc - its a kind of a cross between "what you really need to know" and a Dummies Guide. Buy it.
Great, but not Fantastic

This is the sequel to a Bun in the Oven. But...this is a pretty good book. It has up to date info on all sorts of stuff and covers newborns to little kids. Some of the sections could use less info, while the development portions could use a bit more. There are also chapters on good toys to buy and ideas for games to play when it is raining. A majority of the info was gathered from real moms who took Cooke's Kid Wrangling survey...so it is useful. I just wish there was more on development. This book is not as an amusing read as a Bun in the Oven, either. While there are bits of humor in there, the laugh out loud funny parts just aren't there. That disappointed me a little. All in all, this is a good book, though.
