“Science of Parenthood’s insights and humor are absolutely
amazing!”
—Dr. Mehmet Oz, host of The Dr. Oz Show
“Adapt or die. Those are pretty much the only two real choices a
person has once they become a parent, because, you know, the only
things we know for sure about this life is that it changes and it
ends. Science of Parenthood supplies parents with a heap of what is
necessary to adapt and adapt some more (and keep adapting more
after each adaption): HUMOR. If you don't laugh, you'll die. No, I
didn't mean to say cry, because obviously there is a lot of crying
in life. And poop. If you don't laugh your way through this
emotionally and physically messy-filled world of family life, you
won't survive it. So...if you don't want to die, you had better buy
this book.”
—Nicole Kane Knepper, author of Moms Who Drink and Swear
“Science of Parenthood is laugh-out-loud funny in a totally
non-daunting format. (Sorry, every other unread book on my night
stand!) If there's a parent around who doesn't love it, I don't
want to know them.”
—Jill Smokler, New York Times best-selling author of Confessions of
a Scary Mommy
“If only this book had existed before I had kids! If you're one of
the lucky ones who can get your hands on Science of Parenthood
before your baby is born, it should be #1 on your wish list, before
bassinets and burp cloths and those freakish contraptions that let
you suck the snot out of their noses. And if you already have kids,
get this book for the laughs and the assurance that yes, the crazy,
ridiculous miracle you've been going through is all happening
exactly as it's supposed to.”
—Jerry Mahoney, author of Mommy Man: How I Went From Mild-Mannered
Geek to Gay Superdad
“In Science of Parenthood, Norine Dworkin-McDaniel and Jessica
Ziegler deliver an awesome combination of hilarity and insight.
It's the book Madame Curie and Erma Bombeck would have written
together if only they'd been BFFs.”
—Johanna Stein, author of How Not To Calm a Child On a Plane ...
And Other Lessons in Parenting from a Highly Questionable
Source
“Norine Dworkin-McDaniel and Jessica Ziegler educate and entertain.
They are like the Bill Nye and Neil deGrasse Tyson of parenting...
minus the fancy neckties.”
—David Vienna, author of Calm The F*ck Down: The Only Parenting
Technique You’ll Ever Need
“For these two ladies, parenting IS a science. Luckily they put
plenty humor with it, so the class clowns like me can actually
understand just what the heck they're talking about!”
—Jen Mann, NYT best-selling author of People I Want to Punch in the
Throat: Competitive Crafters, Drop Off Despots, and Other Suburban
Scourges
“Hysterical, informative, and therapeutic.”
—Jason Good, author of Rock, Meet Window
“Move over What to Expect When You’re Expecting, Science of
Parenthood has the real truth about the joys, challenges, and
completely unpredicatable moments of parenting. Equal parts totally
relatable, honestly accurate, and laugh-out-loud funny, The Science
of Parenthood is a must read for anyone who has ever given birth,
is pregnant, or is even thinking of having a baby (and if this last
one is you, good luck, you’ll need it).”
—Tracy Beckerman, author of Lost in Suburbia: A Momoir. How I Got
Pregnant, Lost Myself, and Got My Cool Back in the New Jersey
Suburbs
“A hysterically funny compilation of witty insights about the
trials and tribulations for parenting, ideal for relieving stress
through laughter. Highly recommended . . . for personal mirth or as
a cheerful gift book.”
—Midwest Book Review
