Review # 1 was written on 2015-07-09 00:00:00 Michael Augustine I am the author of this book. I am only giving it two stars because this is the US edition published in 2002 and it is out of date. The Mighty Toddler was first published in Australia in 2001 and since then I have done 2 editions and numerous revisions. The last edition was in 2009. I was persuaded to do a US edition in 2001 a decision I now regret as The Mighty Toddler has not sold well in the US. Consequently, this edition keeps being dumped on the Australian market for a cheaper price. I know that many Australian readers end up with this edition not realising what they are buying. My US publishers, Rowman & Littlefield, will not agree to publishing a new edition but nor will they let it die. It seems it ticks along enough for them to keep reprinting it. This is extremely frustrating for me and I advise all potential purchasers of my books to look for the Australian 2009 print book edition of The Mighty Toddler, published by Pan Macmillan, Australia or the 2014 e-edition published by Xoum, Australia.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-01-20 00:00:00 Gabriel Hernandez THis might seem like an odd choice for my review list, but it's one well worth putting up here, I think. First of all, this book has continually been a godsend. Not because you read it and then know everything-you-need-to-know about parenting a toddler (you don't) but because it's one of those books you can pull off the shelves during those moments when everything is going wrong (ie: 2 year old screaming his / her head off, bashing it on the floor while simultaneously throwing his / her dinner, biting anything within range, and throwing yoghurt at the wall. In a supermarket. In front of your parents.) and find, if nothing else, the reassurance that you're not doing anything wrong. Unlike a lot of the other baby and toddler 'how-to' books on the market, Barker is in no way didactic or judgemental, but simply takes a down-to-earth approach to pretty much everything. Which, when it's the middle of the night and you're second guessing yourself, is a very handy resource to have on tap.
