If you use '-' in front of a word, then that word will be absent in the search results.
ex: Harry -Potter will return results without the word 'Potter'.
If you use 'AND' between two words, then both of those words will be present in the search results.
ex: Harry AND Potter will return results with both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
If you use 'OR' between two words, then bth of those words may or may not be present in the search results.
ex: Harry OR Potter will return results with just 'Harry', results with just 'Potter' and results with both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
If you use 'NOT' before a word, then that word will be absent in the search results.
ex: Harry NOT Potter will return results without the word 'Potter'.
Placing '""' around words will perform a phrase search. The search results will contain those words in that order.

Using '*' in a word will perform a wildcard search. The '*' signifies any number of characters. Searches can not start with a wildcard.
ex: Pot*er will return results with words starting with 'Pot' and ending in 'er'. In this case, 'Potter' will be a match.

A book of reassurance, advice and hilarious epic fails for parents and carers of toddlers to primary-school-aged kids, from the co-host of The Juggling Act podcast and a diverse range of not-so-perfect (celebrity) mums, dads and carers, who have all made mistakes! Somewhere between the cosy depths of your uterus and the exit from your birth canal, your newborn baby loses their paperwork. You know, that booklet with all the instructions and safety precautions: when and how much maintenance they need, and what that all-important 3am error message means. Yup, you have just been handed a screaming, hormone-inducing baby (that looks exactly like your partner - 'cause procreation is fair that way), with no manual. You spend the next few years working out how to keep them alive before they start school, then try to teach them the life skills required to keep themselves alive, before slowly and heartbreakingly letting them go. Just when you think you've got it nailed, the game changes and no one explains the rules. It's like your phone has released yet another update with no warning and you're left trying to work out what changes have been made. What could help is a book of reassurance, advice and hilarious fails - and hails, from the co-host of The Juggling Act podcast and former Kidspot editor, along with a diverse range of (celebrity) mums, dads and carers. It's the antidote to perfect parenting and the ode to good enough! Take a pause from parenting and enjoy shared empathy from Abby Bishop, Amanda Keller, Amber Lawrence, Cameron and Alison Daddo, Fiona Falkiner, Grant and Chezzi Denyer, Isabelle Silbery, Jess Peris, Kathy Lette, Kelly Cartwright, Manu Feildel, Merrick Watts, Michael and Jarrad Duggan-Tierney, Nazeem Hussain, Sam Bloom, Sarah Harris, Senator Larissa Waters, Sam Wood., Shelley Ware, Taryn Brumfitt, Turia Pitt, Yumi Stynes and, of course, Mel Wilson.
