 Great book for fathers-to-be October 24, 2008
J. H. Black (Indianapolis, IN)
I ordered this book to get a good idea of what to expect during my wife's pregnancy. It's informative and easy to read.
Most Practical October 16, 2008
M. Volo (Massachusetts, USA)
Looking back at the 40 pregnancy and infant books we have, this is the one that I finished reading first.
This book offers the most practical advice in the entire spectrum of topics related to having a child, and what a father can do.
I have added more items to my ToDo list from this book, than from any other book. Although I read this book two years ago, I took the same ToDo list from my first child and copied it for my second. I just realized now, two years later, that this book was a key for me to be a successful father. Armin Brott helped me become a better father by adding more support to my gut feeling that I should try to be the best father I can be, and then gave me more ideas and ways to accomplish that.
If you are reading, Thanks Armin.
Worth the read September 20, 2008
Nutterbutter (Washington, dc)
I read a lot of baby books in preparation for new baby - mostly from the library - and I can say that this is one of the books that I did end up buying to use as reference. It is well written and contains a lot of information in one place. Also nice to get a father's perspective.
 Not Worth Your Time September 6, 2008
Brian O. Noble (Clarksville, TN USA)
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
The book is simplistic and preachy. More often than not, you're reading three pages about something that can be clearly stated in a paragraph. Equally often, that material seems misplaced (waiting until the sixth month to speculate about gender???) and thrown in there to thicken the book. I believe, with common-sense editing, this book could be less than fifty pages without sacrificing any content. The few things that I did learn I could have learned from several other books, along with a great deal more.
Excellent choice for men and women July 24, 2008
T. Zachari
This book was one of the best books we got as expectant first time parents. A lot of the information in here you cannot find in the other books for just women. Half of the pregnancy is all about the father too (which women can sometimes forget in the mess of baby making) and this book can offer a lot of insight for women who are confused about their man's behavior. It offers insights to the way men and women differ in the whole pregnancy process. I highly recommend this book for women who are interested in having their partners involved in the process.
