Hot Mama: How to Have a Babe and Be a Babe 16 reviews
Karen Salmansohn, 2003
Cute and corky.
This is a very cute book. I am not saying it's an incredible manuel for pregnancy with all the answers but it's brief and simple. Also, very comedic. I had myself a few good laughs. The Authors goal seems like she just wants to help pregnant women feel confident and happy in their own skin while teaching them the basics and maybe a little more about pregnancy. Just have fun with this one. It's ...

Petit Connoisseur: Art (Petit Connoisseur)4 reviews

Tricycle Press, 2003
bringing modern art to the fingerpainting crowd
What a pleasure it is to find a book worth relishing again and again for it's clever use of words and graphics arts to foster in young children a love of modern art. Like a quick trip to MOMA snuggled up on your own sofa, your toddler may become familiar with concepts and visuals that can only enrich their love of color and (and simple words which they soon memorize and "read" along with you) and ...

How to Make Your Man Behave in 21 Days or Less Using the Secrets of Professional Dog Trainers 22 reviews
Karen Salmansohn
Workman Publishing, 1994
cracked me up - and I am a guy!
Sex in The city humor -- but oddly kinda true. I always kid with girlfriend that guys are dogs -- including me -- so she showed me this book! I definitely got a big laugh from it. Some of it is true about both men and women. The author discusses flight and chase behavior -- when your dog is runing away you dont chase after him because that only makes him run away faster. You just act like youre ...

The 7 Lively Sins: How to Enjoy Your Life, Dammit4 reviews
Karen Salmansohn
Celestial Arts, 2003
Was it a sin to buy this book?
I just bought 3 copies of this book to give to friends. It is a beautiful piece of art with powerfully organized advice about the important stuff that keeps all of us from living life to the fullest. I was reading my copy of it in the gym this morning. The lady on the exercise machine behind me asked "what is that book you are reading?" I told her about it and she said "I have many friends ...

Quickie Stickies: 100 Pick-Me-Ups for When You're Feeling Unglued5 reviews
Karen Salmansohn
Workman Publishing Company, 2003
great gift to give others...and to give to yourself!
I found this book first in a store and wound up reading it page by page without wanting to stop. It's filled with funny but ever so true wisdom that makes great inspiration and motivation. It's very cool how the pages pull out and then you can stick them up places to remind you of its affirmational messages. I wound up buying one for me...and one to give a friend as a gift...who also LOVED it! I ...

The Bounce Back Book: How to Thrive in the Face of Adversity, Setbacks, and Losses7 reviews
Karen Salmansohn
Workman Publishing Company, 2008
Wise and funny, advice to help you through tough times
The Bounce Back book is a treasure of useful ideas to help people bounce back from tough experiences. Salmansohn has a great ability to distill the very best from academic psychology, combine those insights with the spiritual perspective of Eastern philosophy, and convey all this with humor and panache. But what is most moving about the Bounce Back book is the very real and human voice of the ...

How to succeed in business without a penis 9 reviews
Karen Salmansohn
Bantam, 1996
Humor and Help
Interesting book -- contains both humor and help. What convinced me to buy and read it ? Why, the negative comments from Patriarchs !! Sexism is alive (sometimes seems to thrive) in the USA today. If some men are threatened by this book, maybe that it is a good sign. Salmansohn is a fun and interesting author, as seen again and again in her books. I also like her newest, 'How To Change Your ...

My friends gave this to me and my husband in a newlywed gift box -- and at first we all laughed. Then my husband and I read it together and it was a fantastic fun guide to a woman's mysterious netherlands. Our marriage got off to a good start! I love and recommend this book to couples everywhere!

I Don't Need to Have Children, I Date Them: 23 Child Psychology Techniques to Use on Boys of All Ages 9 reviews
Karen Salmansohn
Workman Publishing Company, 2001
Brave and Insightfully Funny Approach to American Sexism
OK, the negative reviews should convince you to get this book -- obviously Salmansohn's humorous insights are really perceptive because she is hitting some of the big targets in the male-dominated American culture. And some of the targets are complaining ... both men and male-identified, patriarchy-serving women. A key point of feminist analysis is that anti-women sexism is so deeply rooted in ...

Even God Is Single, So Stop Giving Me A Hard Time14 reviews
Karen Salmansohn
Workman Publishing Company, 2000
Short and Sweet
This one is shorter than most of Karen Salmansohn's books, but it certainly is sweet. Marriage is not the be-all and end-all of life in the 21st Century !! Of course, if you do want to change your status, check out her new book for 2003 -- "How To Change Your Entire Life By Doing Absolutely Nothing" -- which I also enjoyed very much. Perceptive humor can be good for you.
