Book Reviews of 101 Secrets a Cool Mom Knows
Book Review: Where's the Mom info?
Summary: 3 Stars
This book was pretty much the same as the Dad volume, which disappointed me. I was really hoping to kind of get the feminine end of things from this book, since I have a little girl who's going to have her own little series of discoveries. I already know how to whistle through a blade of grass, find the stars, etc. I was hoping for some more variety - how to properly sew a button, or make doll clothes/furniture/what have you. That sort of thing. What I got was a book that you couldn't have distinguished from the "Dad" volume without the benefit of the cover.
Not that I try to enforce stereotypical girl/boy interests, but there are obviously some differences you're going to run across. I'm all about sexual equality,but somewhere you've got to fill both roles. I'm glad there are Moms out there who want to be the expert on how to carry a football or change a bicycle chain. But until guys start developing their feminine side a little more, there's a knowledge gap. One I hoped this book would help fill for me, but didn't.
Summary of 101 Secrets a Cool Mom Knows
As a mother today, you're as likely as any dad to teach your kids how to pitch a tent, kick a soccer ball, or fix a broken bicycle chain. In a word, you're what your kids call "cool." But with your 24/7 schedule, you can always use extra help. That's why this book was written - to give you (or any dad, grandmother, or grandfather) more "Cool Mom secrets" to pass along to the next generation.
Cool Mom secrets are solutions that work. They go straight to the heart of whatever problem a child might encounter to solve it quickly and effectively, no nonsense, no fuss. And at the same time the child is learning a handy new skill, he or she is also learning a deeper life lesson about perseverence, patience, honesty, or courage.
