Hilarious and Highly Entertaining--Not Meant to Be a Medical Guide

This book is a favorite of mine for the very reason that is not a serious parenting guide. If you want doctor-approved, serious care tips, there are plenty of titles to choose from. I can't understand why some folks expect detailed father-infant care tips from Keeping the Baby Alive. The cover...

Not useful ... or funny

I expected this to be a fun book with information helpful for my husband, who has never been around babies. Because there is nothing practical in it, the humor is wince-inducing. The book seems very dated -- something that might have been funny back in the day when it was cute that grown men...

A Great Shower Gift

I liked the original so much, my wife gave me this Special Edition when we celebrated a new baby on the way. Not only is it a pretty clever satire, it's also true to life and very funny. He didn't come to the shower, but my dad (the doting grandfather) got the companion book Keeping Your...

A Good Natured Romp

Like a Monty Python skit, this book may not please folks who are prone to take themselves too seriously, but it sure is funny. And while it makes fun of every ridiculous situation that pops up with your growing infant, I think the author does so in a good natured way. To see what I'm talking...

Definitive Review: So-So For Humor, Total Failure for Facts

What is not clear, though, is that this book does not present facts which are useful in the course of attempting to be funny.Let me be clear: This is a comedy, there is no useful information in this...

The Best of the New-Dad Humor Books

This was my husband's favorite book of the three I gave him, the first as a shower gift, the other two later in pregnancy. I wanted him to have something fun and lighthearted to read since we had a stack of serious baby care guides. Keeping the Baby Alive was the last gift, and by far the best....

Lots of Insight Lurking in the Laughs

My husband liked the original so much, I gave him this new edition as a personal gift for our co-ed shower. New baby on the way equals new challenges! Chapter one on pregnancy is cute and true-to-life, but the short chapter on the Ten Commandments of Infant Care (also new) is worth the cost of...
