Rating: Summary: This is a great and funny book Review: I read a prereleased copy of this text and found it to be very funny. Meurer has the ability to take everyday events in the lives of parents and children and help us take them a little less seriously. At the same time, he encourages us to maintain a closeness with each other that fosters a healthy relationship with the Heavenly Father. Any parent will enjoy this read. Any child of a parent will enjoy this read. I guess that takes in just about everyone!

Rating: Summary: very funny... amazingly practical... a delightful read Review: In this day and age of books that claim to have all the answers in tbe area of parenting and family relationships, Dave's book is a refreshing and wholesome change. Boyhood Daze is very funny, amazingly practical (in a wierd sort of way!) and a great encouragement. Dave has a way of communicating the agony and ecstacy of parenting in a delightful way. He has a tremendous gift for humor... he's hysterical! Boyhood Daze points the way to what's really important... a relationship with God is the most meaningful thing you can have in raising kids! We haven't heard the last of this guy, Dave Meurer. I look forward to reading his next book!
Rating: Summary: A book for fathers and sons... and anyone who needs a laugh. Review: Meurer manages to find ways to laugh at the strangest things, without ever laughing AT other people. OK, ALMOST never. After his adventures in parenthood, it's amazing he had the energy left to write this book but he did, and his love for his family shows through the laughter. What can he do for an encore?
Rating: Summary: An outrageously mirthful commentary on raising boys. Review: There are subtle but significant differences between girls and boys, much like there are subtle but significant differences between a daisy and a bazooka. As a parent or prospective parent of boys, you need to be aware of these contrasts. If you are basing your parental expectations strictly on your observations of the nice little family down the block where the kids consist entirely of little girls, you are in for one way-big rude awakening. PARENTING TIP: Never let your boys have a carbonated beverage. Ever. They will soon discover that by gulping down a soda and deliberately swallowing extra air, they can emit a sustained belch that can exceed twenty-five seconds. And they will do this relentlessly until they graduate from college. They will do this during meals, in Sunday School, during a tour of the Sistine Chapel, or in the middle of an historic address by the Surgeon General to a Joint Session of Congress -- an event to which you have been invited because you discovered a cure for cancer and you are being honored during a nationally broadcast ceremony. SURGEON GENERAL: "And in recognition of your service to humanity. . ." NBC ANCHORMAN (whispering): "It is a solemn moment indeed as the Surgeon General prepares to. . ." YOUR SON: "BUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRP!" Boys have no shame. But you sure will.
Rating: Summary: Screamingly funny book for parents! Review: Within three minutes of getting into this book, you will be laughing so hard you will risk falling off your couch or out of bed. If you have boys, you will totally, totally, totally relate to every word. This is incredibly funny material.
