This is a small, cute book of Zits comics with comics providing lessons for parents with teenagers.
The comics are amusing and in full color. The author and artist provide a comic strip that goes across two pages and then the lesson the comic strip illustrates. Some lessons include:

• Relish your new role as profound embarrassment to your teenager. 
• The teen years are a worry marathon. Pace yourself, and drink lots of water. 
• Love to love the sheer chutzpah. 

Overall, it is a cute little book that is amusing. If you have teenagers, you'll probably appreciate this. For parents entering into their children's teenage years, this book may make a good gift to help the parents be ready. I really liked this one.

4 out of 5 stars.
