Comments

Amazon Customer: The style this book is written in is fantastic, everything is in layman's terms, which is refreshing and necessary, especially when you expect a tired dad to get anything out of it. The drawings that accompany each page or tidbit of advice are hilarious, and make the book in my opinion. Every chance we've gotten to give this at a baby shower for the father to be, has been received as a welcome addition to the family library!

Fde: Great book for first time dads and moms. Funny guy. Definitely tells its age in some parts when it talks about VCR's. Lots of neat tricks and tips.

Jen: Bought this for my husband and we read the whole thing cover to cover. It's not all bad, but I would only give it 2 stars.

First, the good:
Amazing ideas, easy to read, and sometimes pretty funny without being overly cheesy or lame.

Some ideas include a list of stellar excuses to keep those "difficult" relatives and friends from holding the baby (things like, "His rash is contagious" or "projectile diarrhea" for instance, page 11), how to identify different cries, how to keep fit while watching the little one, tips for sleep deprived dads, and so forth. The jokes are pretty funny at times but there is still a ton of useful information for every stage of development.

The bad:

Many of the suggestions in this book are for couples who are in a certain income bracket (read: if you want a baby on a shoestring budget, this book isn't for you), and the suggestions on how to deal with a spouse who has just given birth are a little juvenile and reminded us both of the 1950's. Other negative points are that this book doesn't leave much room for parents who might want to go against the norm in terms of television exposure and sleeping arrangements. For...

Mel: I am pregnant with my first child and I purchased this book for my husband as a Christmas gift. He is not the "reading" type at all, but from the reviews, I thought this book would capture his interest. Well, I just received the book in the mail and thought I would just thumb through it before wrapping it, but as it turns out, after the first couple pages I was hooked and actually read the entire book myself in a few hours! It is HIGHLY entertaining and I really did laugh out loud many times. Since I'm as clueless about babies as my husband is, I really feel like I learned alot about what we can both expect when our baby arrives (and maybe because the book was written with a lot of humor, I don't feel intimidated or overwhelmed after reading it). I'm so excited for my husband to read this book! Highly, Highly recommended!

UPDATE!!! It's several months later and this book was indeed a huge hit with my husband! I've never seen him so interested in a book before and I've found him literally cracking up laughing while reading it. There is so much bonding time between mother and infant early on that I think Dad's may sometimes feel left out. However, this book makes many...
