About this title:

Synopsis: One of the New Yorker's most popular cartoonists lends her unique brand of humor to the classic subject of child/parent relationships, in her first collection in six years and perhaps her funniest one yet.

Review: New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast aims her cartooning wit toward the familiar subject of being a parent. She does so with the kind of open-eyed reality that makes this book of cartoons read like a how-to manual, or at the very least, a view of what new parents can expect. Chast's sense of humor is apparent in her popular cartoon, "Bad Mom Cards": a series of mug shots of moms gone wrong, like the mom who "ran out of orange juice and served kids orange soda instead." The book's nice design and handsome size make for a great gift.
