What Are Crib Notes?

We all know there are millions of great and helpful "parenting" books out there. But who has the time to read them all? Crib Notes are like Cliffs Notes--a quick way to learn and discuss the big ideas in a book without having to read the entire thing. And if the ideas appeal to you, who knows, you might even want to find time to read the whole book.

We welcome guest contributions to our Crib Notes. Email your book report to talesfromthecrib at gmail dot com.
