COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Not bad, not that great either. submitted by Norah Mitzel on February 19, 2020, 9:04pm Are you considering kids? Then this is a good book for you.
Have you already decided you want more kids but feel like you need an excuse? Then this book is exceedingly useful.
Do you not see the appeal in children? Then this book is hardly persuasive.
Are you trying to find a benefit in your current number of siblings? Then this book is entirely useless.
