Why Animals Sleep So Close to the Road (and Other Lies I Tell My Children)

Susan Konigs first book offers a uniquely frank look at the modern family by an exceptional humorist on the order of Erma Bombeck and Jean Kerr (Library Journal). The Konigs can barely turn around in a city apartment that seems to be shrinking. With Baby #3 on the way, they take drastic measures: They buy a house and move to The Burbs. Countless sticky adventures ensue. In her hilariously unflinching account of motherhood and domestic pursuits, Konig shares a supermoms little secrets, from the importance of Cheerios to the truth about Bambis mother (she was running an errand).

A former New York Post columnist, Susan Konig is a contributor to Catholic Digest and National Review Online. She lives with her family in Croton-on-Hudson, New York.
