Keeping the Baby Alive till Your Wife Gets Home

Rating:
Summary: A book even a mother can love
Review: Roark's Keeping the Baby Alive is hysterically funny. Dads who don't know about the in's and out's of such fun events as diaper changing need this book. Those who know about it need this book to give them some needed perspective -- and belly laughs. I say, give it to all the dads in your life.

Summary: Not for those with no sense of humor
Review: This book is really, really funny because it pokes fun at every facet of baby care, all from a man's point of view. No one is spared, including dads, mems, babies, relatives (young and old), baby sitters, toy manufacturers, pediatricians and modern culture in general. It is not a book for women, but a book for women to give to men. Even so, I know several females who think Keeping the Baby Alive is hysterical. I think these gals understand that it's a tongue-in-cheek spoof--not a dead-serious care guide. heaven knows, bookshelves are loaded with grim instructional manuals for parents who are in hot pursuit of perfection. me, I gave up trying to be the perfect dad after a few months of stress and frustration. Now I use common sense and a sense of humor in taking care of our toddler and baby, and leave perfection to saints and superstars.
