The Expectant Father: Facts, Tips and Advice for Dads-to-Be » (Second Edition)

The best-selling, ground-breaking, information-packed guide for dads-to-be is now significantly updated, revised, and expanded.

Children's Literature

My husband Christopher is anticipating his first Father's Day with our baby Christy, now eight months old, and happily agreed to be the dad consultant for this review. First on his list of recommendations were Armin Brott's friendly, informative guides: The Expectant Father and The New Father. Interspersed with a month-by-month account of the development of the fetus in the first book and infant in the second are discussions of dad's emotions, tips on financial planning, and ways to support the mother. Cartoons and amusing anecdotes throughout keep the funny bone well tickled.
