With all the "how to be a mom" guides out there, it's refreshing to have a book for DADs for a change. This is a pretty good one, too.
Everything is covered, which means nothing is covered in great depth, but there's a blurb for just about every subject a new dad would have a question about. I wish there was more about taking care of the new mom (I could've used more foot rubs and hot cups of tea from my husband while I was recovering from my c-sections, but that's just me!), but that's OK...since the focus is on the baby, it makes sense to have most of the advice about diapers, feedings, dressing, etc.
My husband liked this book, but he also wished it was more in-detail about some things. All in all, though, this is a good book for dads who don't want to read "The Girlfriend's Guide"s...
