New Parenting Is Fun! (Didn't You Know?)
Now that we're on baby #3, my husband and I don't bat an eye at the 2 AM. wake-up calls, and spit up is funny, even when it hits the oriental rug. But we weren't always so laid back.  The first few months with our oldest was the greatest strain our marriage has ever endured, with not nearly enough laughter.  If ever a couple of parents could have used Wry Baby's latest book - The New Parents' Fun Book - it was us.

This book is a riot, as would be expected from Wry Baby. It turns every point of new parent stress on its head by looking at the funny side of it.  There's a "curse"word puzzle, diaper Rorschach tests, and a nickname maker-upper. Even a super-serious first time mom like I was will find it irresistible. Plus I love the retro illustrations and the spiral-bound spine, so you can lay it flat.  Because what new parent has a free hand available to hold a book?

Not only will The New Parents' Fun Book get the two of you laughing, you'll be laughing together.  At stuff like poop. Really. -Julie

Congratulations to Dara E and Jennifer M, winners of The New Parents' Fun Book!
