The Mommy Chronicles

Charlie is a kid learning to be a consumer. His mommy reveals important secrets, like which stroller is "in," which is the "right" playgroup, and how to throw a fabulous fourth birthday party. Moms and dads alike will find these anecdotes of parenting at the end of the century to be truly priceless.Leslie Tonner is the author of eight books, both fiction and nonfiction.
