A MOM’S ULTIMATE BOOK OF LISTS is the handbook that parents through the ages have been waiting for. I wish this book had been available twenty years ago when I was expecting my first child. Full of invaluable advice, and all kinds of lists covering tons and tons of subjects, this book will be referred to time and again, whether you are expecting your first child or if your baby is four years old.

Some of the lists included in A MOM’S ULTIMATE BOOK OF LISTS are:

1. When to call the doctor
2. Questions to ask before choosing a pediatrician
3. Sleep training your baby
4. Top toys for the first year
5. Activities that toddlers love
6. Ten life lessons to teach your toddler
7. What belongs in a first aid kit
8. Six lullabies (including words!) for baby
9. Things you think you need but don’t
10. Developmental signposts for the first year

A MOM’S ULTIMATE BOOK OF LISTS is written by a certified nanny and parenting consultant. This is the book that moms through the ages have waited for, and it is a book that should be in every new parents library. If you are looking for something to give a new mom at a baby shower, this is something to consider. It will be used. (Unless, of course, the mother-to-be has five kids already, and then she will be pretty much an expert at this stuff and only look at the book to see how her thoughts compare.)

Don’t A MOM’S ULTIMATE BOOK OF LISTS. This is a must have for 2010. $13.99. 336 pages.
