Entertaining but not comprehensive

The language/tone/ style of the book is really fun and esasy to get but it's not a comprehensive/ elaborate book..Do not expect full information on everything but you can read for fun and a brief summary of the topics..

Cute and funny

A lot of reviews touched on how the whole calling the baby 'the model' got old, and the book made the baby an object rather than a human being, etc. This is true, but the thing is that I think it was part of the goal of the book! I...

Great book for the baby geek

This is a fun book for the technical-type new parent. The diagrams and writing are succinct and fun to read, and the variety of information is great.

My Baby is a PERSON, Not a Thing

While this book does contain good information, it's presented in a way I couldn't get past. In an attempt to read like the owner's manual for a machine, like a car or a stereo system, the book consistently refers to the baby as "the...
