Charming and funny and insightful and free from the kind of self-seriousness that most parenting advice books are full of. In Moe's words, one of the biggest takeaways about life from parenting is “Being fun is more fun than not being fun, duh.” Having a laugh over the ridiculousness and challenge of turning out a good little human is a good way to keep the fun in the madness. He also manages to avoid gender essentialism, other than to comment on the prevalence of these expectations and to offer that they are in some ways inescapable, despite their silliness.
