REVIEWS
What the Boston Globe says:
Children love repetition, as anyone who’s had to sit through repeated viewings of “The Incredibles’’ or “Finding Nemo’’ can attest. Adults, not so much. Thus, parenthood becomes an endless quest to discover pastimes that will interest (and, with any luck, educate) the children and keep the grownups from sinking into a glassy-eyed stupor. So let us now praise Kim Foley MacKinnon, author of the new book, “Boston Baby: A Field Guide for Urban Parents,’’ for doing all the legwork necessary to keep local families entertained for months, perhaps years to come.
