Book Reviews of A Child Is Born
Book Review: classic stuff
Summary: 5 Stars
Someone gave us the original of this book when we had our first child, 34 years ago. It fascinated us, and i checked the pictures of "my baby" almost daily through pregnancy. In this day of so many ultra sound pictures, maybe it doesn' seem so miraculous, but it's beautiful and almost lyrical.Book Review: Timeless Gift for New Parents
Summary: 5 Stars
In 1979 - when I was pregnant with my first child - there was little technology and no internet. This book was at my side through the entire pregnancy and through the next two pregnancies, too.
My eldest daughter - the one born in 1979 - is now expecting. The first thing I did was order her this book. Even with today's technology, she refers to it constantly and knows exactly what my grandchild is doing and how she is growing.
This book would be a wonderful gift and one that should be passed down from mother to daughter. Providing that Mom doesn't wear out the original copy like I did!
Book Review: Great Pictures, but Outdated and Ideologically Conservative
Summary: 2 Stars
Although I enjoyed looking at the pictures, I found the book as a whole to have a rather dated feel to it. The text is lousy -- and at various points it contradicts information found in more recent, woman-friendly books like Taking Charge of Your Fertility and What to Expect When You're Expecting. Book Review: Amazing ...
Summary: 5 Stars
Wonderful book with amazing pictures and good information. Through the whole pregnancy,week for week, we were reading and reviewing the pictures and information depicted in the book ...and it was a great help, understanding and visualizing what was happening at that particualar stage of pregnancy !
And again, the pictures are amazing ...! This is a "must have" for every "first-time-pregnant" couple.
Book Review: Excellent Pictures
Summary: 4 Stars
I am currently expecting and I bought the book because I thought it would provide a realistic view of what is going on inside my body, for my two daughters ages 7 & 9. The pictures in this book are truly amazing. They depict the fetus at each stage of development in real pictures as opposed to drawings. It even has a picture of an actual delivery, which was useful for explaining to my girls the process of delivery. The book is quite informative as well - for adults. A bit too much for children. But I really didn't buy the book for the information. I bought it for the pictures.
