Wish kids came with instructions? At least you can take heart--and have a laugh--in the knowledge that the little dears confound and amuse all of us. Nothing captures our rollicking relationship with them--and theirs with the adult world--quite like New Yorker cartoons. The magazine's brilliant cartoonists lead us from the hospital nursery, through toddlerhood, into the school years and beyond-to that long-lasting challenge of being an adult with parents.
Selected by Robert Mankoff, cartoon editor of The New Yorker, this collection brings together 126 great cartoons . The introduction from the one-and-only Roz Chast gives us a riot of insight and delight-which, come to think of it, is not a bad description of childhood.
