Today marks the release of Practical Wisdom for Parents: Demystifying the Preschool Years, written by Nancy Schulman and Ellen Birnbaum of the 92nd Street Y Nursery School. The reviews are in and they’re looking good:

“All four of our kids are 92nd Street Y Alumni, so we’ve long benefited from the calming wit and considerable wisdom of Nancy Schulman and Ellen Birnbaum. There’s nothing as wonderfully dynamic and dizzying as life with a preschooler—Nancy and Ellen’s insights and advice have helped us to not only survive each of our children’s journeys, but also truly savor them. Do yourself, your family and your child a favor: read this book.”
—Tracy Pollan & Michael J. Fox

“Now I know everybody is knee-deep in the paperback edition of the 3-Martini Playdate but just for a minute put the book (and the martini) down and pick up this one, Practical Wisdom for Parents. No attitude, no annoying witticisms just solid advice geared toward parents of preschoolers.”
—Massachusetts Mom blogger
