5 out of 5 stars Get this for the dad to be!!!   June 8, 2009
Charles S. Smith (Madison, Mississippi)
If you know a father-to-be who just doesn't have the time or will to read what he can expect during that first year, he needs this audio book.

Even if you think you have some knowledge about your new addition to the family, this will certainly provide some valuable supplemental information.


1 out of 5 stars Not for everyone... obviously   January 16, 2009
Steve Taylor (Only visiting this planet)
4 out of 18 found this review helpful

I received this book as a gift. I've been a dad for over 22 years and didn't really need a book on being a new dad. That's not why I gave it one star. I figured I could give this book away to someone who could get some use out of it but I opened it up to a random page (this is the honest truth) and this is the first thing I read. (pg 140)

"Think like teens. Watch some porn videos together, grope each other in the back seat of a car, or have sex on the sink in the bathroom of a friend who invited you over for dinner."

The author was referring to the dad's "partner" and not his child but still I was shocked. This is not what I'd expect to read in a book about being a new dad. If this is the kind of advice the author gives I don't care to hear what else he has to say. I threw the book away. Remind me never to invite this guy over for dinner.


5 out of 5 stars This series is fantastic!   January 1, 2009
Rdep (Chicago)
We received the "New Father" version along with the many other books that you get given at a baby shower. As a result, it went on the shelf like all the others ;) One day, we dipped into it and have found it to be the best "one stop" resource we have. Although written with a fathering focus, we have found the book to be an invaluable resource for us as our child has grown (he is now 18 months and we are using the Toddler edition). More than any other book, the developmental stages outlined at the beginning of each paragraph have proved spot on every single time; remarkably so in fact. Furthermore, these books cover issues that you really battle with as new parents (separation anxiety, sharing, etc., ) to great depth and with a pragmatic approach. eat. A great series!!


4 out of 5 stars The New Father - good book for new fathers (duh!)   June 20, 2008
B. Redman (Frisco, CO)
This is an good book with a unique persepctive from the male side of raising a child. It is a little "out there" at times, but does provide a great perspective. If there is one thing I have noticed in all the info out there is how skewed to the mother's perspective it is so it is refreshing to have a straight forward/modern view from the guy's perspective. If you want to be involved with your child and understand what the child and mother are going through, this is a good read.


5 out of 5 stars Very pragmatic approach to a new baby for the dad   January 13, 2008
Peter Stupak (Broomall, PA United States)
This book is written for the new dad from a male perspective. Very well-written and to the point. Practical month-by-month chapters that cover what you are going through during the various stages. I highly recommend you read this once before your child arrives, then as they progress month by month.
