It's Not Fair! 1 review
Amy Krouse Rosenthal
HarperCollins, 2008
Not Just For Kids
One morning recently I was reading the newspaper when I heard my wife and 10-year-old son laughing. I thought they were reading a story from the paper together. Instead they were paging through 'It's Not Fair', flipping back and forth through the pages. So while it may be a book for younger children, I can attest to the fact that anyone of any age can enjoy it. Great message, fun book, from ...

One Of Those Days5 reviews
Amy Krouse Rosenthal
Putnam Juvenile, 2006
Excellent
This book was recommended (along with "Nothing to Do" by Douglas Wood) by a very well-respected educator in New York City. It's so simple yet so poignant. There's a lot in it that my 7-year-old daughter can relate to therefore triggering a lot of meaningful discussions while we're reading it.
Don't let its simplicity fool you. Just because it's an easy read doesn't make it unworthy for ...

Your Birthday Book: A Keepsake Journal3 reviews
Amy Krouse Rosenthal
Potter Style, 2007
great book
I ordered this for my son who just turned 9. I have had great intentions of grand scrapbooks, but they have never happened. This was perfect for my needs, I just wish I had know about it earlier. Spots for a few pictures, pockets for small keepsakes, and great questions, as well as "interactive" projects for the kids to represent their point of view. A quick, fun way to capture the previous year ...

The OK Book 7 reviews
Amy Krouse Rosenthal
HarperCollins, 2007
Great for my "perfectionist" kiddo!
This book was a wonderful surprise for us. While I hadn't heard much about it, I thought it could be a helpful book for our four-year-old who lives with Asperger's Syndrome and has some real perfectionist-driven tendencies, so I ordered it with a slew of other books.
We love to read the simple, powerful text together. And, on his own, our son has begun to draw his own "OK" character when ...

The Belly Book: A Nine-Month Journal for You and Your Growing Belly (Potter Style)51 reviews
Amy Krouse Rosenthal
Potter Style, 2006
You HAVE TO get this book!
I LOVE the Belly Book! It is so fun and easy to fill in, and has tons of cute/funny questions and lots of spaces for belly and ultrasound pictures. I bought a different journal when I first found out I was expecting and didn't really like it. It was so boring and wordy. The Belly Book is perfect!

Adorable and Funny
I have to agree with the other reviewers (all 5 stars at this point) and say that this book is delightful. My husband and I were cackling as we read it to our 4-year-old daughter. A very clever story that is simple enough to amuse children and adults. You won't regret reading this book to your child.

Amy Krouse Rosenthal
Potter Style, 2008

Conceived by writer Amy Krouse Rosenthal and illustrated by Ida Pearle, this keepsake book provides a beautiful and convenient home for the bon mots of the binky set.

A must have for every parent
This book was laugh out loud funny. Amy is incredibly witty. She finds humor in ordinary family life. After I read this book I realized that my family is actually "normal". I read this book in one night. Once you start reading you will not be able to put it down. After reading this book I felt a sense of relief from the frustrations of the toddler years. Buy it!

The Same Phrase Describes My Marriage and My Breasts: Before the Kids, They Used to Be Such a Cute Couple ...11 reviews
Amy Krouse Rosenthal
Andrews McMeel Publishing, 1999
Not just for moms...
I bought this book for my wife for Christmas. By the time I wrapped it, I had read the whole thing. I'd pick it up, read a little, laugh a lot, put it down and do other things. I kept coming back to it and eventually I found I had finished it. 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 ...
