Rating:  - Now I know why they think that's funny ...
I've read a couple of books on boys and the best by far is Speaking of Boys: Answers to the Most-Asked Questions About Raising Sons. It's set up in a question and answer style and it answers questions like:
* why are brothers competitive?
* does my son really mean to be that mean to his sister?

Rating:  - Michael Thompson....not his greatest work
This book was a good information book to read. It did not offer the type of insights that I Was looking for when I bought this book.

What a wondeful book! I have 3 sons (aged 15, 11 and 4 years) and so many of the questions and answers here were relevant to things they are doing or have done and how I have felt about things. I found the advice very sensible and up to date and reassuring.
