after hte dsicussion otn eh " d ow e need baby books " thread
what a bout a book called " its a boy!" ( or girl)
and then you have tips for childcare realted to that sex and it could go right up to say 4 /5 yrs and recommend toys or games or coping strategies for each age.

It wodul be gender specific and also deal with difierent learning sty;les of methods of sanction.

Like "get a crane for a three year old and a ball ind the summer is good too!"

We had to escort a quite long whippy twig round Brittany for a fortnight three years ago i have never quite recovered.
Ds' favourite joke of the moment: "What's brown and sticky?" "A stick".

Can you do one book with one half girls, one half boys but have it so the back half is upside down and both halves then read like a separate book IYSWIM
