Great Comic
This third installment of the Dark Horse, Godzilla series is easily the best. The comic is well drawn and the characters are fleshed out; plus, it pays fitting homeage to the orginal Godzilla movies. In it, Godzilla encounters a variety of bizarre creatures and alien beings. He also gets moved through time by a mad scientist. Full of wild plot twists and high quality art, Godzilla: Past Present Future is likely to be enjoyed by Godzilla fans of all ages.

GREAT!
A great collection of some of Dark Horse's Godzilla comics. In these comics, Godzilla battles the Black Hole aliens' (from "GODZILLA VS. MECHAGODZILLA" [1974] and "TERROR OF MECHAGODZILLA" [1975]) mechacial-spider; some giant hunters from outer space; and runs amok through time.

THIS BOOK WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!
This book was a real life saver for our family. After reading this book I have come to learn that babies don't know how to sleep and it is up to us as parents to help them learn. It is NOT INHUMANE! You will give your child the best gift ever with good sleep habits that will last a lifetime. As proof, I have a 4yo son that still naps EVERYDAY for two hours and is still in bed by 8pm. My 18 month son naps for 3 hours everyday, in bed at 7pm and sleeps soundly until 7am. I would never have figured this out without this book. DO NOT DELAY...purchase now!

A must for tired parents!
I can't say enough good things about this book. It gives parents a concrete plan for babies at different ages. Within two weeks, my daughter started sleeping from 6:30 pm until 8:30 am at night PLUS three hours of naps per day after I implemented ideas from this book. We were the envy of our friends and thought to be very "lucky", but we worked hard to stay on the plan outlined in the book. I gave the book to several friends who had similar success. Some basic points which I found most helpful:

1. Very young babies should never be awake longer than two hours at a time. When your baby wakes up, note the time. Then be sure to put the baby down about 90 minutes later. This worked like a charm and helped me organize and plan my day when my daughter was very young.

2. Sleep begets sleep! This is the most important lesson in the book. The theory is that when a baby is waking during the night or early in the morning, it indicates the baby needs MORE sleep, not less. My sister's daughter was waking up around 5:30 am. She kept trying to move her bedtime later and later, but the wake up time stayed the same. She was just too scared to try the suggestion in the book to put her daughter down earlier. She was sure she'd wake up at 3:00 am. When she finally did try, to her amazement, it worked. She has gradually moved bedtime to 7:00 pm (it had been 9pm) and her daughter now sleeps until about 6:45.

My daughter is now two years old and sleeps from 7:00 pm until 7:45 am. She also takes a nap from 12:30 pm until 3:00 pm. Although I know I am just one anecdotal example, I really do credit the ideas in this book with her amazing sleep habits. For tired parents, it is certainly worth a try!

I do have to add some things I did not like about this book...I think the suggestions on how long to let baby cry were too long. I simply skimmed over these suggestions. I may be a weakling, but I never, ever let my daughter "cry it out". I truly think that a discriminating reader can easily tailor this program to fit ANY style of parenting, from Ferber to Sears. (I myself lie somewhere in the middle...) Also, this book was not organized well, although I have an older version, and this one seems to have been updated. But I have to say that the information in the book is so good that it is worth the minor hunt to get to it! Good luck whatever you try!

Buy this book--see my review for why
I don't often take my valuable time to write book reviews but after reading and successfully implementing Marc Weissbluth's advice, I cannot help but recommend this book for any parent who struggles with bedtime battles, or has a consistently overtired and cranky child.

As a parent of a baby who had colic, I was able to better understand why my child wasn't sleeping during the day and how to improve the quality of her sleep at night (no more sleep fragmentation). I also read specific chapters to my sister who had a 3 year old son who constantly got out of his bed during the night. After implementing Marc Weissbluth's advice, her "Jack in the Box" was going to bed within in fifteen minutes rather than the nightly two hour battle and remained in bed throughout the night.

This book also discusses night terrors, sleep walking, temper tantrums and special issues that may challenge even an experienced parent.
