I love parenting books. As a stay at home mom and future homeschooler, I kind of feel like this is my "career," so I'm always looking for a fresh perspective on this endeavor that is going to dominate the rest of my life.

I loved Bringing Up Bebe, so I actually bought Druckerman's other book, Bebe Day By Day, that really crystallizes her advice in a way that's easy to find and highlight: http://www.amazon.com/Bébé-Day-Keys-French-Parenting-ebook/dp/B009D3G5AO/
