Customer Rating:      Summary: Just What I needed... Comment: This book is obviously more for the dads rather than the mums. My fiance has a number of books and I tried to read them but as good as the infromation and advice was they did not really appeal to me.
I bought this book for my brother in law as he has the same problem with his wife but having had a little read through I quickly ordered another one that he could have as I kept this for myself.
It's great, it's done in a handy manual format, more like articles in a magazine than a book. I found I could just go to different sections and come up witht he same info the other books give but actually enjoy the language of it.
It is mildly humorous and that is enough to keep me interested, I'm not after a comprehensive indepth breakdown of things or a hugely amusing read I just want the simple facts presented in an easy to read manner and it does that. I don't treat it as a bible on all things baby but it does give me a resource I can turn to and not feel like I'm in a boring stuffy book.
If you're a first time dad, get it.
If you know a first time dad, get it for them, they'll appreciate it and helps us 1st time dads feel like we are included.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Awful Comment: Patronising American book.
As first time parent this book wasn't useful at all.
Tries to be funny, but misses the mark. When you've been up all night with a new born and need advice the jokes are even less "funny"
Babies aren't robots as this book refers to them as.
Kaz Cooke Kid Wrangling is far superior - and makes for far more enjoyable reading.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Excellent Manual! Comment: This is an incredibly funny and extremely informative read. I have to give it 5 stars for it's innovation alone. We have a number of books in this area, all well written but none as enjoyable to learn from as this. Highly recommended. I'll be buying the toddler version once we're at that stage!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Not bad, but get's annoying quite quickly Comment: As the book description states, this book reads as an operating manual which I thought may make it different to any 'normal' baby book, but this style of writing gets old and annoying very quickly, and I couldn't finish the book. There are also some factual errors he states generalities as cast iron "should be's"
Customer Rating:      Summary: Recommended Comment: My husband found this book and loved it because it is written in what he would describe as a "male friendly" way, light hearted yet gets the serious point across and he read it without losing interest and understood every word without being daunted by the whole experience!
