There's one called Toddler Taming which I found quite useful - depends on your parenting style - not a particularly touchy-feely one!

Second Toddler Taming, it's good at putting things into perspective and the drawings are so funny.

I don't suppose you know the author's name?

Christopher Green. It saved my life! (or more accurately DS life lol).

Its good because it tells you what is normal (stops you thinking your toddler has ADHD!) and is big on divert/distract and get on with your day, they'll grow out of it sort of thing.

Another vote for Toddler Taming here. Very funny

I found it very patronising on a first reading but have warmed to it, especially the way he describes excessive reaction to non-problems.
