Wryly hilarious and filled with excellent tips, this is an essential guide to the strange world of becoming your father. I love the 50's-esque illustrations, and the information is well-presented. A great book for those rare private moments in the smallest room in the house.

This book is hysterical. Think Boy Scout handbook meets parenting advice. My husband would read this book and chuckle (see "Evolution of the Boppy"). It's the only parenting book that he has read from cover to cover. The book has great, practical suggestions, but presents it in a fun, unassuming way. We've purchased a copy for all of our friends that are expecting their first child.

My husband received this book as a gift when we were expecting and loved it, and I loved it too. It goes through all the material in an informative yet very humorous manner. This book is good not just for dads but for mom's too (and grandma enjoyed reading it too!). We have bought a copy for our friends to enjoy, who are expecting now. Trust me, you'll like it!

I knew that when i heard my husband laughing out loud from the other room while reading this book that it was a good one! It's tough to find men's books that really mean something and don't take them months to read. This caught my husbands attention from the first page to the last! It has the funniest sense of humor. our child is three months old and he is still refrencing it quite a bit. I have ordered it for three other friends husbands who are expecting. They all have gotten a kick out of it and learned something!

Funny, helpful and a pleasure to read, we enjoyed this so much as expectant and new parents that we buy it every time a friend is expecting. It's a hoot.
