The blockbuster series of "Girlfriends' Guides" takes the next logical step—with toddlers. In her trademark wise, witty, and always honest fashion, Iovine takes on the big issues of the toddler years: tantrums, saying “no” and meaning it, and potty training.

With a combined total of over 300,000 Girlfriends' Guides in print, Vicki Iovine offers the kind of tongue-in-cheek humor and straight-from-the-hip advice that has made her one of today's most popular authorities on child rearing. Now she takes the next step in the Girlfriends series by helping mothers deal with that mysterious, baffling, often adorable and frequently alarming being their baby has become—a toddler.

Vicki Iovine is the mother of four teenage children. Since the success of “The Girlfriends' Guide to Pregnancy”, she has gone on to write several books in the Girlfriends' Guide series, has lent her expertise in columns for the “Los Angeles Times” and “Child” magazine, and has served as a relationships correspondent for “Redbook”. She has also been a parenting correspondent on the “Today” show, “Oprah”, and “The View”. Vicki lives in Los Angeles with her children and husband, Jimmy Iovine.
