Clear and concise, with plenty of anecdotes from family life to illustrate the argument, <b>this is one of the most convincing parenting books</b> to come across my desk in the last year.
Sunday Times
An <b>eye-opening and badly-needed </b>dose of perspective. In my next life, I want to be Dutch.
- Pamela Druckerman, author of French Children Don't Throw Food
A <b>fascinating</b> book - one I wish I had read sooner! In fact, the more I read the more I became tempted to move our entire family to the Netherlands...
- Sarah Turner, author of The Unmumsy Mum
Considering 2016 was the year Brits embraced the cosy Danish concept of <i>hygge</i>,then 2017 may be the year in which we tire of candles and adopt the rougher and readier Dutch version: <i>gezelligheid....</i>...Entertaining.....I would say <b>all parents should read this book</b>.
