"You see, I don't believe that libraries should be drab places where people sit in silence, and that's been the main reason for our policy of employing wild animals as librarians."--Monty Python

STAFF PICKS -- Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother

Carol's Pick:  Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, by Amy Chua

An awe-inspiring, often hilarious, and unerringly honest story of one mother's exercise in extreme parenting, revealing the rewards-and the costs-of raising her children the Chinese way.

Carol says:  This was a real eye-opener to the differences between Eastern and Western child rearing.  I loved Amy's standards and was embarrassed as to how we Westerners are raising our children.  Wish I could do it over again.
