Book Reviews of Be Prepared: A Practical Handbook for New Dads
Book Review: For Intelligent Adults with a Good Sense of Humor
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the purchase I'm proudest of in my 'baby related books' category. My husband is really enjoying it and so am I. It's funny, practical and an easy read with solid tips and just the right level of detail when it comes to important information. The illustrations (it's full of them) are also very nicely done.
The best thing about this book is that unlike other books aimed at dads and dads to be, it really does offer a lot of valuable information and many many tips without sacrifising the laughs. It's written for intelligent adults with a good sense of humor.
(The book cover is laminated in a way which probably protects it in cse of spills...etc. Nice touch for a book meant for people with babies)
Book Review: Must have for new dads
Summary: 5 Stars
Wryly hilarious and filled with excellent tips, this is an essential guide to the strange world of becoming your father. I love the 50's-esque illustrations, and the information is well-presented. A great book for those rare private moments in the smallest room in the house.Book Review: A must for new dads
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is hysterical. Think Boy Scout handbook meets parenting advice. My husband would read this book and chuckle (see "Evolution of the Boppy"). It's the only parenting book that he has read from cover to cover. The book has great, practical suggestions, but presents it in a fun, unassuming way. We've purchased a copy for all of our friends that are expecting their first child.Book Review: Exactly what a man needs
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband is about to become a father and has never even touched a baby, much less cared for one. He was freaking out about all of the responsibilities, and this book calmed him. It explains the simplest tasks, like holding a baby, changing a diaper, burping, etc, all in a no-nonsense way. It's simplistic enough, and amusing enough for men to understand and actually read. I read it myself and learned a thing or two. There are great suggestions for babies that won't stop crying, what to do when you run out of diapers, how to help out your torn-up, exhausted wife who just gave birth.... it's everything a man needs to know. Book Review: great advice
Summary: 5 Stars
this book made me laugh about a subject I was very nervous about as I was about to become a first time father. Not sure if I used any of the advice, but it has some good and entertaining stuff.
