 Here's a book that will drive liberals crazy--suggesting ways for kids to take responsibility, think for themselves and do their own work. If you live in a big city or the suburbs, wake up and realize how many parents do their kids' homework for them. Reilly's old-fashioned values are a welcome antidote to the culture of coddling we've created. You might even enjoy this book if you're a liberal who wants your kids to be tough-minded and independent. On a far different note, I am also a big fan of "I Sleep At Red Lights: A True Story of Life After Triplets," by Bruce Stockler, which shows that a Dad can be the best caregiver in a family. Also a funny, honest and emotionally compelling read.

My sister bought my husband and I two books for our anniversary. Because they know we watch O'Reilly we got this book and because my husband loves interesting stories, we got "The Bamboo Chest" by Cork Graham. What we didn't know until enjoying both books is that they're both about kids. O'Reilly's book is worthwhile for his dialogues applied to children and Graham's book is amazing because it's a story that has yet to be picked up by the main media as it was during the early 1980s, and it's a coming of age story about a kid who lived in Vietnam during the war, was traumatized by the war and then heals himself of the resulting PTSD while spending time in Vietnam a second time, in 1983 as the first American political prisoner held in Vietnam since 1975. With all that's happening now, I'm surprised that more shows haven't had Mr. Graham on. I heard him once on local radio and he was amazing! What a life and to have survived it! When is Mr. O'Reilly going to have him on his show??
This is laughable. If you cannot see through the utter hypocracy of this farce of a human being, you should be reading some real self help books. The book offers nothing. Love your kids and spend time with them, and don't be gullable. Case closed
