I received a reviewers copy of Practical Wisdom For Parents this morning, the guide to raising preschool-aged children penned by the directors of the 92nd Street Y Nursery School. While it certainly looks informative, I suspect there is only one bit of practical information most parents want from these women: How to get a child admitted to the 92nd Street Y’s Nursery School. And, alas, the amount one has to donate to the institution to achieve that result is not enumerated anywhere in the book.
