Maggie Downs provides a humorous account of her daily struggles and moments of joy through the use of classic literature. In this clever account, Downs underscores these everyday events by using the titles as humorous punchlines to provide readers a true picture of her daily life as a modern day mom.

Key Takeaways:

• Me, on the other hand, I’m a nerdy mom. I’m the avid library user, the mom who knows every storytime in a 30-mile radius. My diaper bag is heavy with books — most for my son, but one for me in case I’m stuck somewhere without a book.
• For treats, I indulge my son in bookstores. I encourage him to sniff the spines and enjoy the feel of a new page.
• So when it comes to thinking about my day with a toddler, this is how it looks in my nerd-mom brain.

“I indulge my son in bookstores. I encourage him to sniff the spines and enjoy the feel of a new page.”
