Customer Review: This simple book is best read when you're feeling sentimental. The message will leave you teary-eyed.

Customer Review: This book made the hackles on my neck stand straight up. Absolutely creepy and odd. It is one thing to rock your sleeping baby, quite another to sneak in your grown sons house (with a ladder no less), and rock him in his bed. This book shows the exact opposite of how to be a healthy parent. Cut the... more info
