Behind the toddler-proof gate of Santa Monica’s exclusive Garden of Happiness, it’s the grown-ups who are getting schooled.
When new preschool parent Justine discovers that the man who broke her heart back in grad school is a dad in her daughter’s class, she tells herself she’s immune to the superficial charms of the ex she calls “the crapwizard.” But when his presence opens a time tunnel of potent memories from her life before motherhood, she must find a way to defuse her old attraction to him before it undermines her marriage.
Then there’s Ruben, rookie stay-at-home dad and standup comic who quits his day job to pursue his TV-writing dream on his wife’s condition that he take her place among the “power mommies” on the school committees.
And ruling the sand box with an iron fist is Margaret, whose ongoing divorce from her dentist-turned-New Age-surfer husband forces her to rely on her dubious people skills in order to keep the school that has become the cornerstone of her identity.
When the new school year kicks off with a flight-risk rabbit named Ozone, a school secretary in desperate need of a social filter, and some double-barreled committee recruiting tactics, it’s not all juice and cookies for Justine, Ruben, and Margaret as they struggle to play nice.

Of the many things to love about Anna Lefler's new novel, Preschooled, about life in the preschool fast lane in Santa Monica, one of the most enjoyable is her ear for dialog, particularly for the character Justine. She was the kind of fictional character I'd like to take out for a coffee so we could give each other a reality check that it's the helicopter Alpha moms who are crazy, not us. Lefler's sharp and funny and illustrates a corner of parenting that I am so, so very glad to be past....Product details

Preschooled edition by Anna Lefler Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
This was such a fun book to read! I enjoyed the characters and think Anna's writing is outstanding. I snorted and laughed out loud over numerous pages while on the treadmill at the gym and had people asking me what I was reading. I think this book would make a perfect movie on the big screen and look forward to more books by this talented writer.
Offered in the multiple perspectives of her characters, Preschooled is wonderfully written and an engaging story. For once, relationships between husbands and wives were explored without predictable affairs, but definitely with realistic yearnings.
The humor was also delightful. You probably won't be able to put it down
I really enjoyed this book! It was nice to hear the stories of the mothers (and fathers) and the preschool that drew them all together. I also enjoyed being able to hear the perspective of the owner of the preschool. This was my first book by this author and I will check to see if she has written anything else because I enjoyed her writing style.
Finally, a book I could relate to! Even if I don't live in the U.S. and my preschool reality wasn't exactly like this, I loved this book! I loved the characters, I could really feel their pain and frustration, and the way it turned out was convincing, real, and very satisfying. I want more from this author!
Yes, Anna Lefler is funny. She's hilarious. But she's also insightful, intelligent, and a mighty fine writer, with a deep understanding of craft and characterization. It's easy to recommend Preschooled -- it's a satisfying and hugely entertaining read.
Anna captures all the fear a mom goes through when sending her child to preschool in a Hillarious way! She really captures the way it starts off so cleverly with all the excitement and anticipation of our child's first experience and we all want to make sure that they will be alright, it's all about them. Yet oh boy reality hits when it becomes all about us and the way Anna peels the layers to reveal the frantic way we navigate through the volunteering, scheduling, "those moms" etc. I found myself having my laugh out loud moments. Right back there reliving that time looking back and realizing I was getting "Preschooled"
Being a mom is certainly a journey and few of us take our first steps with confidence. Once we sort of have it together we are hit with preschool. A whole new ballgame, where our little one starts her own social circle, birthday parties, friends, plus the business of school itself. Painting, singing running around with other children. And now its not just your child's social circle, as a parent you expected to be on board as well...for those who have walked through the "valley of the stay at home moms," you will laugh out loud as you read... Lefler takes us on a hilarious journey that anyone who has spent time in the mommy trenches will appreciate. What really set this book apart is that, though I laughed out loud at times, I also was deeply engaged with the characters. Their struggles and the realization that with their small children, the choices they make become more complicated, even dangerous...all of this with the backdrop of preschool. I'm still on my mommy journey these days, but with a little more confidence and certainty. Thank you so much for this book...it was delightful.
Of the many things to love about Anna Lefler's new novel, Preschooled, about life in the preschool fast lane in Santa Monica, one of the most enjoyable is her ear for dialog, particularly for the character Justine.
