Toddler manuals?

[lotheryn]

Hi all!
Just wondering if anyone can recommend good book(s) to peruse in preparation for the next couple of years (child aged 1-3years)?

I've never read any of the pregnancy/birth/newborn type 'manuals' but would like to see what challenges await me in the toddler years.
Also if the book also contains activity ideas?
