Happiest Toddler on the Block
This book made me wish for the rebirth of the pamphlet. You know how Thomas Paine and those folks around the birth of our nation had these big ideas but then put them in a pamphlet? I think that's what Harvey Karp should do. Only, his ideas (in this book, anyway) aren't really that big.
Here's something that bothers me. A writer or somesuch will have a decent idea and sell many, many books (i.e. "The Happiest Baby on the Block," which I enjoyed in DVD form and "The Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren which I have not read but every mother in America seems to have enjoyed). So they make lots of money. Then a few years pass and they think, "I'm gonna do that again." So they release things like "The Happiest Toddler on the Block" and some book that I saw is on sale at Safeway this week called something like "The Purpose Driven Christmas." If a person is fortunate enough to come up with an idea that resonates with people or helps them, they should bow their heads in humble appreciation of the money that is falling through their doors and then just...fall silent. Sorry, Harvey. I might have given you an extra star if your non-ideas had been published in pamphlet form.
That was meaner than I meant it to be. I just don't have the time to waste on dumb books and it makes me irritable.
