Rating: Summary: The perfect present! Review: I gave this book as a present at a baby shower and it was a BIG hit. Everyone looked through it together and we laughed ourselves silly at the humor. It really made the shower.I'm going to get this author's other book.

Rating: Summary: This book is for the young, old, and humorous at heart! Review: I have read some of the reviews of this book and I was disappointed at the number of people who were not enjoying this book. My sister-in-law received this book from a friend, so I went out and bought it for my friend. I feel modern parents, or the younger parents will enjoy this book more. I wrote a little insert on my friend's front cover saying, "I hope you never have to use this book. I thought it was cute and I wanted you to know I was excited about the birth of the baby." It's true. I hope no one has to actually write down half of the things in this book. It's a nice conversation starter. It's great reading material. The authors made this book one of a kind. More and more people are looking for books and shower gifts that make a statement. This will do it! 5 stars for orginality. 5 stars for funny. 5 stars for thank god I don't have to use this on my children!
Rating: Summary: Completely hysterical Review: I picked this book up because of its catchy title. I don't have any kids, but many of my friends do and I am always looking for the perfect baby gift. I read this book from cover to cover and laughed all the way through. I highly recommned this book to anyone looking for a baby gift for the modern couple.
Rating: Summary: Fabulous! Review: I received this book at a shower, and it became the hit of the party - guests took turns reading from it aloud. Granted, if you are looking for a traditional fill-in-the-milestone baby book, this isn't it. But, if you (or the parent-to-be) would like a little humor mixed in with the diaper bags and layettes, this book is perfect. On the days when parenthood is more than a little daunting, I pick it up for a much needed laugh.
Rating: Summary: This wasn't what you were expecting Review: I stumbled on this book by accident and immediately thought of a handful of people who could use it and appreciate it. Kids do say, and break, and spit up, and do the darnedest things and Baby's First Tattoo prompts you to record them. A must for any recent parent.
Rating: Summary: I think they're confused about the audience. Review: See, those of us who don't have children usually don't precisely because we see what a wreck they have made of their parents' lives. And the scariest thing is that the parents don't even realize it. They are the ones who coo over spit-up and bowel movements. They cart their infants along to see The Mummy and Blade II. They let them howl and throw food at the other diners in fine restaurants. The edginess of this book is lost on them.
Rating: Summary: For those who "get" it...get this book Review: The mark of a really choice comedic book is when someone who isn't even in the target demographic picks it up and can't put it down until after reading it all the way through. I first saw this book at a Best Buy, laughed hysterically, then after wiping away my tears, recorded the title into my Palm Pilot for future reference. Right now, there's an unsuspecting pregnant friend of mine out there about to get this book...and she's going to LOVE it! There seem to be a couple reviewers here who think this book is actually supposed to be a record keeper or something to read a million times over. Someone mentioned that the book doesn't contain evergreen cultural references. (Gee, if that were a sign of success, then Stephen King would have been in big trouble a long time ago.) This is an "in the moment" book for a time that is best lived, well, in the moment. Great job.
Rating: Summary: Not So Happy Review: This baby book is tacky. I found it to be highly overated. This would not be a baby book that I would keep and pass on. When it says a book for Modern parents, that is exactly what it means, I guess I am not modern. If you are the least bit traditional, I sincerely doubt you will find this book funny or heartwarming. There are some funny pieces that would be great additions in a baby book, but overall I was so disappointed. Two baby showers to go to and I would not take this as a gift.
