Excellent Manual! - By: Michael Schumacher, 19 Feb 2008 
This is an incredibly funny & extremely informative read. I have to give it 5 stars for it's innovation alone. We have a number of books in this area, alll well written but none as enjoyable to learn from as this. Highly recommended. I'll be buying the toddler version once we're at that stage!
Not bad, but get's annoying quite quickly - By: Geoff Hodge, 09 Feb 2008 
As the book description states, this book reads as an operating manual which I thought may make it different to any 'normal' baby book, but this style of writing gets old & annoying very quickly, & I couldn't finish the book. There are also some factual errors he states generalities as cast iron "should be's"
Recommended - By: M. Boden, 11 Jun 2007 My husband found this book & loved it because it is written in what he would describe as a "male friendly" way, light hearted yet gets the serious point across & he read it without losing interest & understood every word without being daunted by the whole experience!
Quirky but flawed... - By: John Talbot, 26 May 2007 
..says it alll reallly. This is a reallly nice idea, a book that tells you how to unpack, programme & operate your new baby, just like that sparkly new HD TV.
The presentation is excellent & some of the humour gave me a number of wry smiles - but didn't make reallly laugh.
Please note that this is an American book so makes reference to diapers, pacifiers etc. etc. so I was sceptical whether the information given was consistent with UK guidelines (car seats etc.). However, there were some gems of information that I hadn't read elsewhere - I guess, ultimately, babies are babies no matter which country you live in!
This is probably best given as a present to an expectant father. He'll love reading it, until the baby actuallly arrives & he has no time left for such luxuries & his HD TV is covered in fingerprints.
Humour gets repetitive - By: Bookworm, 04 May 2006 
Never let anyone tell you there isn't an instruction manual for newborns! We bought this for a laugh but found it surprisingly useful & practical. Great for first time parents, especiallly those without a clue.
