Cute. Some of the stories are hit and miss and the novelty of the dog/cat advice column runs out rather quickly. My absolute favorite stories were the one with the money-hungry granddaughter (tho slightly-meanspirited), the babysitter stuck with the cookie-crazed toddlers, the germ-burning momma, and the Raina Telgemeier comic.

There were good pieces in here, but on the whole it felt like it was too forced, like grownups trying too hard to make a kid laugh.

It promises to be the behind-the-scenes tell-all about children's lit. I guess it kind of is? But it's also not earth shattering or particularly surprising. I guess I'm jaded, and uninterested in the gossip.
