This book belongs in the "non-fiction/parenting" genre, but in no way is it a "how to" book. It's about the little-kid phase of parenting, and its objective is to entertain by reminding readers of what likely was a very emotionally fulfilling time in their lives. It begins when your child starts to say and do - typically around the second birthday - and ends two or three years later when the essential learning of basic words and concepts is complete.If you are not a parent, you may well enjoy this book anyway because little kids are inherently cute. We all know that. And if you're a soon-to-be parent, or maybe you already are but your young one is not yet a "little kid", again you should enjoy this. It speaks of the joys and the milestones of little-kid parenting. It will leave you with a sense of it all: here's what you have to look forward to.While the stories are about my two little kids and me, you'll be reminded thoroughly. There's a sameness to the experience: activities, issues, the little-kid personality, the piecemeal way they all learn. Even the parental response is much the same. So remembering is easy - "Yes, this is what it was like." And what indeed was it like? It was a very emotional time with much laughing, warm feelings, and growing love. It was an important time too. Life mattered. The book is very emotional.It captures the ambience of living with your children when they're little kids. It's a wonderful ambience, and the book takes you there and immerses you.
