I bought this because it was written like a manual for electronics, so I figured my husband would get a kick out of it. I love the diagrams, and the basic instructions for simple things.

This is a good book to enjoy among other pregnancy books; especially good for the dad to be to learn the basics in a humorous way. Helps relax the mood. Would recommend reading other book as well, but this one was worth the money for what it is.

It's approximately the 10th time I've been buying this book for future parents. It gave them all a great laugh and everybody told me that despite the humorous writing it contained great tips! I guess I will simply continue giving it away and eventually buy my own copy when it's about time 😄

I bought this as a stoking stuffer for my wife but it's quit informative. Shouldn't be used as a should resource but is as good as any other book I've read on baby's.

I just gave this to my boyfriend, after reading the first few pages he said it was great! The way it is written and illustrated it makes it easy for him to read. He never reads book so this was great! It is written in a way that is funny and cute and fun to read.

I bought the book mostly as a joke because my husband and I are both geeks. The information given in the book is written in a simple and easy to understand manner.

The book reads a bit satirically -- think of your standard baby care book but written like a VCR manual. But it's actually useful information; we had our first child born recently, and it's been really useful to us. I've ended up buying copies for friends, too. Once you figure out a few of the slightly less obvious "terms" (like "service provider" for "doctor"), it's easy to read and avoids a lot of the editorializing and "my baby was this way" found in similar books. Worth the time.

This book would make for a nice "joke present" for a baby shower, but it should not be considered a true baby reference book. It's simply too superficial and gimmicky. Think of it as "baby book lite."

This book is both entertaining and useful. I'm not one for reading baby books, so this was right down my alley. It helps that I work with computers daily, so the humor is really spot-on for me. I enjoy picking this book up, and it has some good pointers for me, a-soon-to-be-daddy with no previous training. I'm already preparing myself for the various "Sleep Modes."

I bought this book for my husband kind of as a joke, but it turns out the book really has a lot of information! It's also written in a very humorous way which makes it easy to read!
