How to Dungeon Master Parenting: A GuideBook by Shelly Mazzanoble

funny informative fast-paced

5.0

OMG!! This is pure gold! Now I haven’t had to think about a parenting book in 13 years but because of the title I decided to request if. I am soooo glad that I did.


I am thankful to have gotten the  audio ALC for free from Netgalley and Dreamscape Media so I can leave my voluntary review.

This book is geared to those who have experience with Dungeons and Dragons however you could know less than nothing about the game and still thoroughly enjoy this book. It gives solid parenting advice to boot plus if you are familiar with the game but don’t have or aren’t expecting a child, you could still enjoy it.. seriously.

The author senseless and accurate comparison a between the game and parenting making it so engaging. She also narrates the audiobook and I highly suggest reading the book in this way. While I would speed it up a touch she does a fantastic job her theatre degree goes to good use.

I know what I’m getting my adventuring party for the holidays this year and no, none of them will be having another children and are 1-2 decades past the baby years but that’s how much this can be enjoyed.

It comes out on November 12th 2024. It will make the perfect gift for the expected parents as the “advice” is solid and will help new parents get off on the right foot.
My rating system since GoodReads doesn’t have partial stars and I rarely round up. 

⭐️ Hated it
⭐️⭐️ Had a lot of trouble, prose issues, really not my cup of tea (potentially DNF’d or thought about it)
⭐️⭐️⭐️ Meh, it was an ok read but nothing special 
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Really enjoyed it! Would recommend to others
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding! Will circle back and read again
