How Do You Tuck In a Superhero?: And Other Delightful Mysteries of Raising Boys

Rachel Balducci never has to search far for inspiration. Her material arrives through the window, dangles from the roof, and waits at the fridge. In this book she records the noisy, marvelous world of raising boys, drawing on things she overhears, household rules she has been compelled to invent, and the baffling behavior that leaves mothers everywhere scratching their heads. She covers feeding a hungry crew, managing outings in public, and their devoted fascination with a certain television lawman. The result is a funny celebration of the sweet and chaotic side of boyhood.
