Summary: A Side-Splitting Guide for Parents Raising Boys
Review: Bookshelves today are filled with insightful parenting guides culled from the most brilliant minds in family and child psychology ready to meet your every question with answers compiled from years of research and diligent study. This is not one of those books. Boyhood Daze, by humorist Dave Meurer, is an admittedly incomplete guide to the enigma that is a boy growing up. With his ongoing years as father of two boys as his credentials, Meurer steps back, takes a look at the big questions-"If I can't get my boy to eat zucchini, how in the world will I mold him into a mature and responsible adult?"-and shrugs. He doesn't know the answers...but he does know that you're not alone in your questions. With wit and insight, Meurer welcomes readers into his own home and relates, with great humor, the trials, tribulations, laughs, and great joys of being a parent to a boy. With chapters on communication ("Boys: Just Ignoring You, or Truly Clueless?"), personal appearance ("Paying Money to Look Dumb"), and vacations, (If God Had Intended Us to Live in the Forest, He Wouldn't Have Given Us Mortgage Bankers) Boyhood Daze is the perfect book for grandparents, parents, soon-to-be parents, or people you simply want to scare out of having kids. Meurer is sure to join Barbara Johnson, Dave Barry, and Patsy Clairmont as one of the most beloved humorists.

Summary: about boys of all ages
Review: Dave Meurer has a way with peering into the thinking of boys in general. He can take an everyday happening and turn it into a hilarious encounter. His reflections about life in general are on solid ground, something that is sadly lacking in many of today's advice-givers. You cannot read his book and go away without thinking about how so many of life's situations must seem extremely funny in God's eyes. I hope that Meurer continues to use his insight and uncanny ability to see humor in life with boys.

Summary: You might as well laugh
Review: Dave Meurer is a gifted author. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. As a parent of only one son, I too have learned the hard and fast rule: You can cry, or you can laugh. Like Dave, I think I'll stick with laughter.

Review: I am the mother of a red headed 5 year old boy. I read this book over the weekend. This book helped me to laugh at the struggles of raising boys and enjoy what makes boys different and special.The author weaves in a Christian theme. The book is worth the price. It was a help to realize all this bliss of raising a son will not go away anytime soon.

Summary: Add Laughter to your DAZE
Review: I had the rare opportunity of meeting this author at a Writer's Conference. He is warm and witty and is the "real deal". Dave helps us see the lighter side of life but still through a stained glass perspective. He offers up humorous slices of life that will have you laughing out loud. Read all of the DAVE books - Boyhood Daze, Daze of Our Wives, Out on a Whim and his newest one to come in May 2002 - Stark Raving Dad.

Summary: HILARIOUS
Review: I highly recommend this book to anybody who has ANY dealings with boys, even if they're not your own. This book was a wonderful insight into the mind of the male and definitely helped me understand (as the only female in a house with four males) some of the intricacies of the male psyche. Dave Meurer is a wonderful author and the intermittant mentions of God and christianity were nice and didn't come close to the stuffy, cram-it-down-your-throat level that some authors seem to take. I highly recommend this book, if only for the enjoyment of reading the story about Dave when he was a child and the fireworks. Hilariously funny.
