"Anybody that puts the focus on their kids and adds a dash of humor
is alright by me. When Chris uses personal stories and experience
for the breakdowns the book shines and feels genuine. His
commentary in many of the examples are identical to my own
reactions, which made me laugh. It is nice to have a book written
in a male tone for a male audience." --BabyCenter

today's parenting language and spells it out in real-guy talk with

expect from their babies--and Mom!--from before birth to the early
childhood years." --Nashville Parent
