Summary: Fun
Review: An early work by Dave (when his first child was born) with lots of cute illustrations and his typical sarcastic good-natured humor. Nothing here was memorably hilarious but enough cute snippets fill it to make reading it worthwhile.

Summary: Tragically realistic, chilling in its detail!!!
Review: At last, an author willing strip away the pastel, candy-coated mystic of parenthood! If you have children, read this book and know you are not alone. If you're considering having children---RUN AWAY!!!Seriously, though, like the movie "Parenthood", this book is especially hilarious for those of us who've been there. Right on, Dave!

Summary: Dave Barry makes sex funny
Review: Being an accomplished humor writer myself, I think this is some of Dave's best work. I have read most of his books, and this takes the cake.It's a great book, he uses such good hyperboles and analogies. Of course, Dave Barry got his start doing humor writing when he would travel around doing seminars and write his material on napkins in airports. I'm only and eighth grader, but teachers and friends say I have a knack for humor. If this ever reaches a publisher, please write me a letter. I'm waiting for my big break. Sample some of my work if you must. Neal

Summary: Tearfully funny
Review: Dave Barry at his best, this is one of my favorites. I first read it before having children (no, it didn't discourage me). Everyone I've know since that's looking for a good "baby shower" gift has got this recommendation, and none have been dissappointed. It is SCREAMINGLY funny. Just don't leave it on your coffee table or, if you do, at least get people's phone numbers so you can remind them to return the book. It's so good they tend to "forget" that it wasn't theirs in the first place...

Summary: Perfect gift for new parents
Review: Dave Barry is at his best in this one; a great gift for first-time or expectant parents
Rating:
Summary: Hilarious, yet rightously inspiring!
Review: Dave Barry is by far one of my personal favorite comiedians. While comics can sometimes be crude, insensitive and/or on serious mood-altering drugs, Mr. Barry is quite the contrary...hehehe. His humor stems from years of an unhealthy childhood (probably because of his crack-smoking father and beligerent mother) yet he often tells of how the grass was always greener if smoked in an acrylic bong or pipe. Just to sum it up- David James Barry is the greatest person on the face of the earth.

Summary: Move over Dr. Spock! Barry's on the case...whew, thanks!
Review: Hi all you expectant parents out there. If are like my wife and I, as soon as we learned that we were pregnant my wife immersed herself in Dr. Spock and other "reputable" child care and parenting books. Being of a somewhat different ilk, I undertook my own brand of pre-baby training with this wonderful primer about babies, where they come from, what happens when they get here, why they do what they do, and how to cope with it all as a parent. Know what? Dave Barry's book is the most readable, enjoyable, and useful introduction to the little people who show up at our homes that I have ever seen. Move over Dr. Spock! Dave gives advice about diapers and dealing with unsolicited advice on parenting. He also explains in perfectly understandable detail why babies spit up their food (it's the "food-return loop" that causes it), drool, and other typically unexplainable baby behaviors. In addition, there are tips to fathers about when diapers need to be changed, etc. Read it and weep or laugh out loud, depending on whether your baby's already home or still on the way. This book presents real life...no sugar coating here! This book also makes a great wedding present! 5 stars, no doubt about it!
