Helpful Score: 6

I loved this book. It's an irreverent yet practical take on parenting young children. The author emphasizes maintaining sanity while living in a world of Barney the purple dinosaur by recognizing that you're raising future adults and stressing the need to maintain an adult life. When it seems the whole world is instructing you to shower your beautiful baby with repetitive knick knack paddywack songs until you can't dream without this old man strolling through your head, Mellor suggests a selection of child-friendly adult music from bluegrass to beatles to opera. A sassy and fun read for the new parent and single hipster alike.
