Starred review. In June 2009, I gave a starred review to Fertleman and Cave's "Potty Training Boys the Easy Way". This version for girls is just as excellent. Physician Fertleman (writing with health editor Cave) knows just how to present the relevant information to parents, covering topics like early preparation, night training, and common medical problems. Among the plethora of books on potty training (which include some idiotic titles that endorse 'naturally training' six-month-olds), Fertleman's two offerings should be the go-to titles for all things poop and pee. Unequivocally recommended.

This is a great resource for parents trying to tackle the potty training issue!

a witty guide to finding love

a canny gap in the market

packed with [Gina's] signature practical tips about life with a baby and a toddler

Full of practical tips and sanguine advice that will calm and reassure panicked parents

shows that dementia need not be a nightmare of frustration and embarrassment ... James shows that it is possible to unlock isolation and distress

Oliver James has made a great job of setting out the SPECAL theory and method in this book which I strongly recommend to all care home managers and staff teams

Shows how to minimize that distress and manage the dementia in ways that recall early pioneering work on dealing with madness . . . He writes clearly and plainly, gives good examples of the techniques he suggests, and stays always on the practical side. I expected this book to be depressing; it is exactly the opposite.

The stars of this memoir - a daughter and her devil-may-care dad - believe laughter is curative. They will make you believe, too

More complex - and funny - than one would ever imagine ... It's a candid account of a woman unafraid to reveal the scared, jealous, and immature sides of herself while painting a portrait of her rollicking, fun-loving Irish Catholic parents and brothers who bolster her, and the husband who understands and loves her

Corrigan infuses her prose with vivacity and humor. She explores that process called growing up, and how it can happen in a defining moment, like a lightening strike, but also how it is illuminated in less dramatic ones, like flickers of heat lightning in a summer sky
