Great Baby Shower Gift! This was the gift I brought to a Couples Baby Shower and it was the hit of the evening. I had never been to any kind of a baby shower before. This looks like the right way to include dad's in from the start. I watched the mom-and-dad-to-be share in the excitement and love of their friends. I think this early bonding to the experience will strengthen the family unit. Armin A. Brott and Jennifer Ash are to be congratulated.
The "best" collection for expecting Dad's and beyond. With its sophisticated "New Yorker" style comics and light hearted, realistic approach. I enjoyed reading these much more than my "What to Expect" books, which I still consider invaluable resources.
I loved how these books covered practical issues, such as college savings and some relationship issues that the Mom geared books don't touch. It supplies advice about weathering Moody Moms and creative ways to offer support. It gives enough relevant information to the Dad to understand and relate to the wife's stages of pregnancy, infant health and development and charts toddlers moods and stages without bogging down with a lot of potentially superfluous detail. These books even have some special "Dad" recipes, like making pretzels in the oven, that are supposed to be fun for Dad and Toddler. (I think that is pretty neat.)
In short these are great books, geared towards Dads, covering some things that the more technical books don't have room for, AND they didn't set off my "sexist" alarms. Let me tell you, my alarms are sensitive. I loved reading these. -The Mom (Oh, and my husband liked them too!)
