Book Reviews of Be Prepared: A Practical Handbook for New Dads
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! Book Review: New Parents Prep
Summary: 5 Stars
We loved this book so much that it's now our standard gift for 1st time parents-to-be. It's written like a boyscout manual. My husband read it cover to cover (lots of cartoons)...and the lighthearted-sincere-useful sentiments made us both laugh. Book Review: This book is THE BEST HOW TO...PERIOD!

I am actually a mother who found this book the best resource for how to... on everything baby! Further, I even used some of the facts in the book and the section on baby-proofing rooms as tools for games at the baby shower to get the men involved! The fathers and bachelors present ended up fighting over who was right with how many hazardous object they found in each room! The advice was right on and my 1 month old is benefitting from washer and dryer calming efforts and reggae rocking to sleep!Book Review: Get a fun education!

This book made me laugh out loud. I bought it for Valentine's Day for my fiance. He is reading it and coming home teaching me things.
