Uh-oh, it’s a boy. For new mothers, understanding the world of boys can be puzzling — what with their obsessions for dinosaurs, construction machinery, Star Wars, pirates, and, well, guns. Big Rigs for Moms is a friendly cheat sheet for new moms that demystifies these topics and delivers some key "talking points." Twenty-five key topics that all good mothers should know and understand if they want to know and understand their sons — from trains and trucks to freaky science and insects. With a smart sense of humor, parent/author Jenna McCarthy explains just what’s so fascinating about forts and knots and even poop — and then gives moms some cool insider knowledge, or a reading list, or a fun activity.
