This is HILARIOUS. In a nutshell, it is a compilation of photos of children crying along with the reasons why. Some of my favorites: "A fly landed near him," "The slide is not slippery enough," and "Water got on his bathing suit." ROTFL I can't. Kids cry over anything and everything and this compilation of hilarious photos and reasons had me laughing out loud. Greg Pembroke (the man who put this book together and who also has a pretty well known tumblr blog 'Reasons my Son is Crying') is absolutely hysterical and just "gets it." I don't have kids or anything but I just mean he refuses to let anything bother him, he rolls with the punches and finds the humor in the sometimes difficult times. Definitely recommend this as a gift for parents of a toddler. I don't have kids. I'm too old to remember being a kid. I do remember the time my younger cousin Andrew cried because his mom bought him new G.I. Joe underpants but wouldn't let him take the package of them into the baseball stadium with us. With the privilege of being at a distance from childhood tantrums, I find them hilarious.That's why I chose to read Reasons My Kid Is Crying by Greg Pembroke. Some of the reasons for the unhappy faces and tears captured in the submissions therein are perfectly understandable, even from an adult's point of view. "I took the glass of red wine away from her" is a reason I cry, too.Others are explicable only in toddler logic. "I asked her to please stop licking the bottom of her shoe," for example. Seems like a perfectly reasonable request to me, but apparently to a small child it is Ragnarok itself.Interspersed between the silly photos and even sillier reasons why are Pembroke's observations on being a stay-at-home dad with his own sons. This book would make a perfect gift for parents who are expecting their first child - let them be warned in advance.I read this book out loud to my husband. He declared it "f****ng hilarious."I received this book for free from Blogging for Books for this review.
