The book everyone is talking about: how the French manage to raise well-behaved children, and have a life! Who hasn't noticed how well-behaved French children are, compared to our own? How come French babies sleep through the night? Why do French children happily eat what is put in front of them? How can French mothers chat to their friends while their children play quietly? Why are French mothers more likely to be seen in skinny jeans than tracksuit bottoms? "Fascintating...gripping...extremely funny...I loved it. It made me want to move to Paris' (India Knight, "Sunday Times"). "Her book should be dispensed on prescription". ("Spectator").
