COMMENTS FROM REVIEWERS:

“Lenore and I bonded over crows and kids. This book is only
about one of those, but it's still great. Hopefully she'll get around
to a book on crows someday.”
—Dax Shepard, host, Armchair Expert

“A bubbly but potent corrective for the irrational fears that drive
so many parents crazy.”
—Dr. Robert Needlman, co-author, Dr Spock's Baby and Child
Care, 9th Edition

“This book transformed the way I think about childhood,
parenthood, freedom, and fear.”
—Kim Brooks, author, Small Animals: Parenthood in the Age
of Fear

“Weirdly, I love this book! To begin with, it's laugh-out-loud
funny. Plus, Lenore and I share a big belief: Kids can do so much
more than our fearful culture thinks they can.”
—Amy Chua , Yale law professor, author, Battle Hymn of the
Tiger Mother and Political Tribes

“Free-Range Kids is the best kind of manifesto: smart, funny,
rigorous, sane, impassioned, and bristling with common sense.
If you're a parent, or planning to become one, read this book.
You have nothing to lose—apart from your anxiety.”
—Carl Honoré , author, In Praise of Slowness, and 30 Days to
Slow

“It still amazes me it took an activist like Skenazy to
decriminalize activities I took for granted as a kid. I felt lucky to
discover Skenazy while my kids were still young. I hope
subsequent generations will benefit from her work.”
—Bethany Ball , author, What to Do About the Solomons and
The Pessimists.

“Free-Range Kids makes the perfect baby shower gift.”
—Nancy McDermott , author, The Problem with Parenting

“Moral insight without moralizing—how rare is that?”
—Amity Shlaes , author, The Forgotten Man

“Lenore Skenazy is a national hero.”
—Mary Roach , author, Fuzz, Stiff, and Bonk

“Read this book—Mommy said you could.”
—Penn Jillette, Penn & Teller
