Okay, so I’ll start here where I started myself. At the library, of course. I went into the library catalog and, feeling smug about my librarian skills, went straight for the subject headings. I punch in ‘aunts’ and nothing looks too promising. In fact, one heading stops me in my tracks:
Aunts — Crimes Against
At that point, I decide against subject headings and scour the catalog using keywords. There wasn’t much to be had. I tried Amazon as well and there were no how-to or dummies books for aunthood. The only title I might try to track down is The Uncle Book: Everything You Need to Know to Be a Kid’s Favorite Relative. It really seems to address my mission as an aunt and mentions Nintendo. Hopefully it isn’t too man-centric.
