October 2005:        I Weeble and Wobble, But Wonąt Fall Down

November 2005:    The Hair Apparent

December 2005:    “Hey Coach, Which One’s First Base?”

Bob Schwartz reminds us of the necessity, no matter how harried or confusing things are, to appreciate the humor in the day-to-day nature of family life. Bob gives parents a reason to laugh as he navigates the unexpected twists and turns of parenthood every mom and dad has experienced — such as that feeling of panic when you hear the toilet being flushed and immediately followed by your child’s less than reassuring yell of “Uh-oh!” Or the admonition to your five-year-old of, “No, you can’t have the leftover cotton candy for breakfast, even if you do pour milk over it.” All author proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

What they're saying:

"Bob Schwartz is the Erma Bombeck of the 21st century. His take on parenting is down-to-earth, easy to identify with and laugh out loud funny."  Karen Gardner, Editor, Richmond Parents Monthly

“Bob Schwartz has written an insightful and hilarious book, but it has a limited appeal. The only readers who will enjoy it are people who have children, who don't have children or who were once children. I have three sons, so I really loved it, and it has helped me make the decision to sell my children on eBay.”   David Brenner, Comedian, Author and Father 

“Bob Schwartz has written a glorious account about the day to day lessons of parenting. The book is wonderfully humorous, yet wise. It’s all about what really matters: enjoying the most magnificent role of our lives: parenting! I highly recommend it.”  Dr. Michele Borba, author of "Don’t Give Me That Attitude!"
