Book Reviews of My Boys Can Swim!: The Official Guy's Guide to Pregnancy
Book Review: A Funny Book, even for people whose boys can't swim!
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this book on the advice of a friend, despite being single with no kids. It is a very funny book, and even those of us who have never experienced the joys of birth and parenthood first-hand can recognize the humorous reality of the situations Davis describes. I especially liked the section on baby names. It's a very funny, very quick reading book--and it had the added value of making my boyfriend quite nervous for awhile!Book Review: Great way to break the BIG news to your husband!
Summary: 5 Stars
I gave this book to my husband for Valentine's Day, two days after I discovered I was pregnant. It was a great way to break the BIG news to him!Then we both read the book (yes, it can be done in 2-3 trips to the bathroom - which as the author accurately notes is the maximum time that a man will ever spend reading about pregnancy!) The book really does contain a surprising amount of useful and very helpful information.
You can find longer books with less to say, so why waste your time and money? This has everything a guy needs to know -- and as a woman, it'll give you insight into how your husband will deal with your pregnancy. I hope there will be a sequel on the first year of parenthood before our baby is born in October!
Book Review: THE gift for first-time dads!
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't have kids myself, so was wondering what to give to 2 good friends who'd just learned their respective wives were pregnant. They both seemed petrified and giddy -- so when I found "My Boys" I immediately sent off copies. They LOVED it -- said they were laughing so hard they didn't realize they'd actually learned what the mom-oriented books were saying but in 1,000 pages less. The raves from my soon-to-be-dad friends led me to read through it -- and I had to agree. Davis clearly had a good time writing this AND becoming a father. It's not for the humor-impaired -- Davis is frank, but hysterically on target, from what I know of my pregnant friends' experiences.Book Review: Head Turning Funny
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this book during my train ride home from work when my wife was about 7 months pregnant. It's an unwritten rule In D.C. that commuters should keep silent and not make direct eye contact with other passengers, but each page made me laugh so hard that I'm sure everyone on the train wished I'd taken my car that night. After being forced to read every "What I'm Going Through During My Pregnancy" book, I was glad to finally read something from a potential father's point of view. This book should be handed out to men during all Lamaze classes.Book Review: MY BOYS CAN SWIM
Summary: 5 Stars
THIS BOOK IS FUNNY AND INFORMATIVE. THE AUTHOR GETS ALOT OF INFORMATION IN A SMALL BOOK AND IMPARTS THIS WITH A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR. IT IS VERY EASY READING AND THE ART WORK IS CLEVER.I BOUGHT IT AS A GIFT FOR A PROSPECTIVE DAD. I BOUGHT THREE BOOKS, AND I HAVE ALREADY SENT TWO BOOKS AS GIFTS. THEY WERE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED BY THE PROSPECTIVE DADS, AS WELL AS THE PROSPECTIVE MOMS.
