36 essays in 288 pages, many Seattle writers, the theme of most you can probably guess: Problems with travelling with children. Even though I don't have any kids, it made me want to save my money and stay home; without kids, my vacations are much less disasterous (e.g. more boring) than these stories.

From the looks of the book you would expect the book to be quite funny. I think I found 1 story to be hilarious. The others were either annoying because the parents were dumber than rocks or they were the equivilant or reading something out of the Chicken soup for the soul books. If I wanted heartwarming and touching I would watch Oprah or turn on the Lifetime Channel. I kept reading because I was hoping that at least another story would be funny or amusing, but it never happened. This was just not my cup of tea, but I'm sure others would fund it appealing.
