Book Reviews of Be Prepared: A Practical Handbook for New Dads
Book Review: The Best Short Read for those with Little Time
Summary: 5 Stars
This handbook was surprisingly comprehensive given its size and how many pictures are in it. I was glad to find that it answered several questions on my mind as an expectant mom (even though I bought it for my husband) and it took a short time to read each section. I find the author really took time to lay out the important facts/options piece-meal so you can absorb the information. I have other books that cover the same subjects in long written form (which is also good) but when crunched on time, this one was succinct and touched on the key points you need. The humor is great but I think the visualizations and breakdowns are really the highlights.Book Review: Great for new dads
Summary: 5 Stars
I got my husband several books when we found out we were pregnant. This book is funny and useful. The artwork is cute. It is definitely written for men. My husband loved the humor and advice. A great baby shower gift! This book and Quarterback Dad were the best two of the books I got him.Book Review: Fun, Informative, A Keeper
Summary: 5 Stars
My wife is a few months pregnant for our first child. I have been trying to be very involved and informed in all aspects of our pregnancy and into the child raising years. Although I am a teacher, I am very nervous about raising a child that I am 100% accountable for.
This book has provided not only the necessary information on most subjects, it has provided the much needed sense of humor. I was reading and laughing a lot, so my wiofe and family needed to have it read aloud so they didn't feel left out on my own little jokes. I highly recommend this to any father to be who needs info and laughs.
Book Review: A great guide for new dads
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this book for my husband shortly after we learned we were having our first child. He was excited when it arrived and spent most of his lunch break reading. This book does not poke fun at the beer-drinking, football-playing daddy persona. Instead it is filled with pencil sketches that capture one's attention using real life satire. The sketches are comical, genuine, and endearing to the experience and associated responsibility.
We have received several other "for fathers" books since the pregnancy began, but this one is by far the best. It provides friendly suggestions that are applicable to real life - such as how a new dad can hold his baby while bathing him or her. I believe that my husband can use the suggestions in this book and I can relax knowing that he can manage all life's little challenges, even the slippery wet baby ones :-).
Book Review: Witty and Informative
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book for my husband since we're TTC our first. He wouldn't put it down once I gave it to him. He loved it and learned a lot from it also. He would follow me around the house giving me helpful tidbits! I read it and loved it as well. Very funny. Very informative. Great book for those who are planning to be parents!
