ABOUT THE BOOK
USER REVIEWS
"This is an incredibly funny and extremely informative read. I have to give it 5 stars for it's innovation alone. We have a number of books in this area, all well written but none as enjoyable to learn from as this. Highly recommended. I'll be buying the toddler version once we're at that stage!"

"As the book description states, this book reads as an operating manual which I thought may make it different to any 'normal' baby book, but this style of writing gets old and annoying very quickly, and I couldn't finish the book. There are also some factual errors he states generalities as cast iron "should be's""

"My husband found this book and loved it because it is written in what he would describe as a "male friendly" way, light hearted yet gets the serious point across and he read it without losing interest and understood every word without being daunted by the whole experience!"

"..says it all really. This is a really nice idea, a book that tells you how to unpack, programme and operate your new baby, just like that sparkly new HD TV.
The presentation is excellent and some of the humour gave me a number of wry smiles - but didn't make really laugh.
Please note that this is an American book so makes reference to diapers, pacifiers etc. etc. so I was sceptical whether the information given was consistent with UK guidelines (car seats etc.). However, there were some gems of information that I hadn't read elsewhere - I guess, ultimately, babies are babies no matter which country you live in!
This is probably best given as a present to an expectant father. He'll love reading it, until the baby actually arrives and he has no time left for such luxuries and his HD TV is covered in fingerprints."

"Never let anyone tell you there isn't an instruction manual for newborns! We bought this for a laugh but found it surprisingly useful and practical. Great for first time parents, especially those without a clue."
