Sure, children are the greatest gift of all -- but that doesn't mean you want to be seated next to one on an airplane.

From the dawn of time, other people's kids have found
ways to spoil things for the rest of us. Movie theaters,
parks, restaurants -- every venue that should be a place of
refuge and relaxation has instead become a freewheeling
playground complete with shrieks, wails, and ill-timed
excretions. Now, I Hate Other People's
Kids delivers a complete handbook for navigating a world
filled with tiny terrors -- and their parents. It boldly
explores how children's less- endearing traits have
disrupted life throughout history ("And they say Jesus loved
the little children, all the children of the world, but he
never had to dine with one. He chose the lepers") and
classifies important subspecies of tyke, from "Little
Monsters" (Dennis the Menace, Bamm-Bamm Rubble) to the "So
Good It Hurts" variety (Dakota Fanning, Ricky Schroeder in
The Champ). Dotted with illuminating sidebars such as
"Parents Think It's Cute, but It Isn't" and featuring tips
on ingeniously turning the tables without seeming childish
yourself, I Hate Other People's Kids is clever,
unforgiving, and sidesplittingly funny.
