Book Reviews of My Boys Can Swim!: The Official Guy's Guide to Pregnancy
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.
Book Review: Hilarious and Refreshingly Honest!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was so tired of reading pregnancy books about how wonderful pregnancy is. Yes, we all know that in the end it's worth it. But during those nine months of waiting, things happen to your body and mind that you (and no doubt your spouse) never could have imagined. The way that Ian Davis describes his wife's pregnancy and the experience that they shared, reminds us all that we need a sense of humor. My husband and I were laughing so hard as I read him some highlights that I had to put the book down at some points just to breathe! A great gift for any expecting couple or any couple just thinking about it.Book Review: Davis - the male Erma Bombeck!

Funny, self-effacing - Davis has "it". If you like Dave Barry - you'll love Davis' spin on pregnancy.I bought five books and gave them out in Lamaze class.
