| Be Prepared: A Practical Handbook for New Dads by Simon & Schuster This book is THE BEST HOW TO...PERIOD! |
| I am actually a mother who found this book the best resource for how to... on everything baby! Further, I even used some of the facts in the book and the section on baby-proofing rooms as tools for games at the baby shower to get the men involved! The fathers and bachelors present ended up fighting over who was right with how many hazardous object they found in each room! The advice was right on and my 1 month old is benefitting from washer and dryer calming efforts and reggae rocking to sleep! |
| Be Prepared: A Practical Handbook for New Dads by Simon & Schuster Get a fun education! |
| This book made me laugh out loud. I bought it for Valentine's Day for my fiance. He is reading it and coming home teaching me things. |
| Be Prepared: A Practical Handbook for New Dads by Simon & Schuster funny but not helpful |
| Definitely funny. But not helpful at all. My husband got it as a gift. He read it initially just because it's his best friend that gave it to him, and had a few laughs but didn't help at all in the caring for the newborn. He relied more on the ones written by doctors and pediatricians. |
| Be Prepared: A Practical Handbook for New Dads by Simon & Schuster A must-read for all Boy Scouts! |
| This is a great book, with super illustrations reminiscent of old-school Boy Scout manuals. My husband, and Eagle Scout, read it from cover to cover before the baby even arrived! His favorite tip? That babies loved to be rocked to a reggae tempo! Not your average baby book! |
| Be Prepared: A Practical Handbook for New Dads by Simon & Schuster My Wife Lamented "I wish all my books were as cool as this one!" |
This book is amazing. It covers everything. No fluff. No stretching out sentences. Fact, Joke, Tip.
Great Pictures. Some informative, some add humor.
I bought this thinking "What possibly could I learn from it, but what the hell" .. and I cant put this down. Every page has a new tip or trick I would have never thought of.
Get this for any expectant father. |
| Be Prepared: A Practical Handbook for New Dads by Simon & Schuster Product Description |
| An indispensable survival manual for guys entering the trenches of fatherhood, Be Prepared is loaded with one-of-a-kind insights, MacGyver-esque tips and tricks, and no-nonsense advice for mastering the first year as a dad. Finally, a book that teaches men all the things they really need to know about fatherhood...including how to: • change a baby at a packed sports stadium• create a decoy drawer full of old wallets, remote controls, and cell phones to throw baby off the scent of your real gear • stay awake (or at least upright) at work • babyproof a hotel room in four minutes flat • construct an emergency diaper out of a towel, a sock, and duct tape Packed with helpful diagrams and detailed instructions, and delivered with a wry sense of humor, Be Prepared is the ultimate guide for sleep-deprived, applesauce-covered fathers everywhere. |

| Take your average guide for new mothers, chuck most of the stuff about breast feeding and ditch the deep background research and stats, then generously pepper with illustrations and burley humor and what do you have? Your average guide for new fathers. Be Prepared follows that template pretty closely, and that's really quite an acceptable thing. Yes, there's a bit too much emphasis here on broadly drawn manly stuff like changing a diaper at a ballgame, but there's also heaps of useful advice that's cleverly and efficiently presented for pops who, despite their best intentions, really aren't prepared to dig into encyclopedia-sized tomes. The basics (childproofing, bathing, feeding, entertaining) intermix with nifty sidebars (homemade bath toys, foods to never give your baby, exercises for dads) in easy-to-peruse chapters organized according to the age of the offspring up to age 1. There are more thorough how-to guides for new dads, but for most men moving into fatherhood, Be Prepared will fill the bill. --Steven Stolder |
