reviewed Weighty Issues: Fatness and Thinness as Social Problems on October 30, 2017 Weighty Issues
Picked this up at the library while waiting for story time to start. Quick read, learned a few useful things about choosing toys. This would have been a good resource when I was a new mother -- and would be a great book for a new grandparent, to help steer them toward smart gift choices.
