Summary: There are better baby books out there
Review: This book is exactly what's described in the description here: A comical take on the traditional baby's memories book. For someone who was a little overwhelmed at the amount of stuff out there that's targeted towards new parents (read: designed to guilt new parents into buying their schlock so you don't feel like you're neglecting your child), this book was a breath of fresh air. Realisitically, neither I nor my wife would have ever completely made use of a straightforward baby memories book, and in fact, I have yet to meet anyone who actually did. This book, on the other hand, is entertaining by itself so you don't feel that its purchase was a complete waste even if you never fill in any of its pages.Some gems from the pages include: "Diameter of baby's head" followed thereafter by "Diameter of hole baby's head came through." There are places to record baby's first projectile vomit, and even baby's first DWI. There's even a ledger of expenses you can fill out which start out with hospital expenses and even include cost of spring break, cost of first auto repair, and cost of "finding oneself". This is funny, funny stuff. It's not intended to be a serious memory book for any child, but it provided me, a parent, with plenty of giggles.

Summary: This book is for the young, old, and humorous at heart!
Review: This book was quite dissappointing. As soon I opened the package it came in my heart sank when I saw how small it was. There is no room for photos, although I understand it is not really that kind of book. It is more for comedic value, not as a baby memory book. It definitly is not for single parents (which I am) and I found that I can't even fill out half of the book because of the categories such as: "Name of cab driver/police officer who helped deliver baby", and other silly questions that make up the book. It is cute, perhaps as a gag shower gift but not to buy if you want a nice book with meaningful places to record milestones and such.
However, I was impressed with the cute illustrations (small but cute) and in the back of the book theres funny reads like "what parents talk about with their friends now" (among the list is 'analyzing baby poop' and 'breast-feeding the gritty details'.) Which I found very funny since it is SO true! and on the next page, "what they used to talk about"
4 stars for humor, 2 stars for memoribilia, 4 stars for creativity and uniqueness.

Summary: Purdy Dang Funny
Review: This is a great gift when you're tired of giving the same 'ol ho-hum thing. I don't have kids, but if I did, I would really enjoy getting this book. You will be proud of this refreshing change!!

Summary: The perfect present!
Review: Warning: amke sure your humor button is firmly set to ON and engage your senses of irony and the ridiculous before ordering this book. I was confused by some of the other reviews. I never thought this was intended as a "baby book" as one reviewer apparently did. I think the humor is absolutely spot on. When I got to the part about "Number of diapers intended to go into the Diaper Genie vs. Number of diapers you've actually crammed into the Diaper Genie", I really laughed because my husband and I are always trying to stuff "just one more" diaper into that dratted machine. Overall, this book reflects some of the wierdness of modern parenting as seen in the lives of those featured in People Magazine with a good dose of reality for the rest of us.

Summary: This book is so bad....
Review: we'd return it if we still had the packing slip! There was nothing humorous or interesting about anything in this book. If we were not "modern" enough to appreciate this book, the parents that would find it interesting would scare the heck out of us. Don't waste your money. Want a great book to read about babies...read "The Grandfather Thing". Excellent.

Summary: There are better baby books out there
Review: While looking for a unique baby shower gift, I stumbled across this book and picked it up due to its catchy title. A few items made me laugh, but my overall impression is that the book tries too hard with pop culture references that are soon to be outdated and confusing. This book might be amusing for a few minutes at a baby shower, but is destined to end up on a bookshelf, unused. If you're looking for a humorous baby book that parents would actually take time to fill out, I would suggest The Inappropriate Baby Book by Jennifer Stinson. It's more charming and less cynical than Baby's First Tattoo and has the potential to draw laughs for years to come.
