Book Reviews of A Child Is Born
Book Review: A Child Is Born
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an amazing book. I bought the first edition when I was pregnant with my first child and thought it was awesome. Now it has been reprinted and updated with photographs of the fetus using modern technology. I got the new one for my daughter who is expecting her first child. I just can't believe the photos in the new book! She is enjoying viewing and learning about her baby's development. This book is a compilation of amazing photos of the development of a child from conception to birth.Book Review: A Child is Born
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an exceptional book. I first read it 35 years ago when my daughter was born and am still excited about it with my son whose girlfriend is pregnant with twins. We have discussed many chapters and learned much about the pre-oxygen life of babies.Book Review: A classic
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book 27 years ago when I was expecting my first child and when my daughter told me she was planning a family, I immediately purchased the updated version for her. This book remains a classic! The pictures are unbelievable and so beautiful and vivid. Because it's a European book, the childbirth pictures may be more graphic than what we are used to here in the States, but look beyond that to see the beauty and wonder of childbirth depicted in this amazing book. I highly recommend it!Book Review: A second generation
Summary: 5 Stars
When my husband and I became pregnant with our first child 35 years ago, I volunteered in the embryology room at Fernbank Science Center in Atlanta, GA. This book was one we used in the exhibition. We bought it and adored following it week by week as our little one developed.
I am now buying the book for my daughter who just found out that she and her husband are expecting! I can think of no better book to help them enjoy the wonder of their growing baby! I highly recommend it to everyone who has a baby on the way!
Book Review: A unique book documenting an amazing journey
Summary: 5 Stars
We received this book from my father-in-law as a gift after we announced my wife's pregnancy. It was really a very good choice for a gift to expectant parents.
Unlike other pregnancy books, which tend to be informational and focus on the the medical changes that occur to mother and baby during pregnancy, A Child is Born is a photographic and informational journey of the developing fetus. This book is not meant to substitute for the pregnancy guides that are out there that offer much more detailed information to expectant parents. Instead, this is more of an emotional journey celebrating the process of creating a new life.
The photography is spectacular and the writing is lucid and engaging. This is a wonderful book for an expectant couple to go through together. There is information here as well, and it is updated from the previous editions to be current, but I think the real appeal of this book is what it will make you feel.
There is much about pregnancy that is practical and informational. This book is unique in its balance of information and imagery. If you are considering a gift for an expectant mother or couple, consider giving this book. Many people will buy their own pregnancy guides or receive them as gifts. Those books are necessary and helpful. But this book can be a truly special gift to remind the couple to enjoy what is happening to them. Highly recommended.
