'...Her style is engagingly literate and graceful. Her psychoanalytic point of view is wisely leavened with intellectual breadth and a sturdy good sense, and her pages are brightened with not only a delightful humor but with a warm appreciation of the gaiety and fun that are the often neglected parts of both parenthood and childhood.'
