Like New. Prompt shipment, with tracking. we ship in CLEAN SECURE boxes 8.6 x 5.7 x 0.7 inches From Booklist Schoenstein, ghostwriter for Bill Cosby, brings humor and personal experience as a parent and grandparent to this scathing look at parenting in overdrive, as an alarming number of parents push their children--even in utero--to ever grander achievements. He looks at trends to develop children's abilities, from gadgets that play Mozart to babies in their mother's wombs to the astonishing competitive pressure to get toddlers into preschools that will put them on a fast track to the Ivy League. Schoenstein looks at the absurdity of mothers paying steep tuition to schools that teach them how to play with their children, as well as schools that offer post-toddlerhood training for the SAT. Underlying his lighthearted observations is his worry about the impact of such overwrought parental ambitions and the disappearance of a carefree childhood. This slim book is an amusing but cautionary look at a troubling parenting trend that will appeal to parents, both the driven and the more relaxed. Vanessa Bush Copyright American Library Association.
