Amanda's Book Nook
Early literacy has always been a topic that I have been very keen on, as a Kindergarten teacher and a graduate of Child Studies, BASc from the University of Guelph. My eyes are always open for new and interesting children’s books wherever I go. My collection of books for children of the early years has grown tremendously over the past few years and I would like to share some of the books that I have come to love and enjoy.
For more great books please visit our recommendations at Amazon.

Volume 18: Book Review: The Lazy Husband: How to Get Men to Do More Parenting and Housework by Joshua Coleman
The Lazy Husband, written in 2005 by Joshua Coleman, PH.D, a husband and a father, is a must read for any woman who feels that she has too much of a domestic workload and not enough support from her husband.
Coleman uses examples of conflict between various couples. He explains the situation well and also describes how a wife might go about solving the problem, using specific dialogue examples.
The differences that cause conflict between men and women have been known for a long time, think Men are from Mars, Women Are From Venus. This book is written as a tool for women to better understand how to change the domestic responsibilities in their home. It is written by a man, who offers many personal examples in order to assist women get to the root of their problems. Included in this book is one chapter for the husband to read. It is definitely written man to man.
After reading this book, I have a much better appreciation for my husband. Don't get me wrong, I truly appreciated him before, but I have an understanding (as small as it may be) that it is difficult to be a husband too. Women have issues that are difficult for men to deal with too. Women's issues are just different than men's. It's how we deal with our issues with one another that matters. One critical word or parental "over ride" can make or break a situation.
