Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

This engagingly entertaining and instructive pregnancy guide is based on the conceit that most men are "twenty-first-century Cro-Magnons" at those times when an expectant father "stops, scratches his head, and mutters to his woman, 'I don't get it.' " What is immediately obvious about the book, however, is that it is actually a superb overview of the birthing experience and is a perfect companion to a classic like What to Expect When You're Expecting. But the Cro-Magnon conceit is what will make this a perennial gift book for expectant fathers, since even the most enlightened male might not initially be interested in learning about prenatal massages, amniocentesis and a wonderful range of easy meals to prepare for a tired spouse, all of which this book expertly details. Best of all, to serve as the reader's mentor and guide before and during childbirth, first-time authors Port and Ralston introduce a typical modern caveman named Gronk ("Role Models: John Belushi"), whose deer-in-the-headlights reactions to subjects such as sex during pregnancy are delightfully drawn by Kendall.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST READ!, June 6, 2006
This review is from: The Caveman's Pregnancy Companion: A Survival Guide for Expectant Fathers (Paperback)
My wife and I have been awaiting our first child for 7 months,
so I have been to numerous classes and read several books on the subject. I must say "The Caveman" is the most reassuring and beneficial to me, as an expectant father. I have been so geared up for helping my wife and her needs that I was neglecting my own. I now feel I can come to grips with my role and in turn be a better husband and father. It shedded light on the serious topic in a humorous and helpful way. The "Caveman" is a must read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Experienced Caveman Father, June 14, 2006
By 
Paul Sweeney (Basking Ridge, NJ) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Caveman's Pregnancy Companion: A Survival Guide for Expectant Fathers (Paperback)
I picked up this book for a friend of mine who is expecting his first child. While I am a veteran of the pregnancy and child birth process, I decided to hold onto the book for a bit and check it out. Dave and JR have hit a home run with this realistic and quite humerous guide to being a pregnancy companion. I especially enjoyed the list of "What Not To Do in the Delivery Room" as I definitely violated some of the caveman rules and paid dearly for it. Fellow cavemen, this is a must read. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Gronk Rocks!, June 5, 2006
This review is from: The Caveman's Pregnancy Companion: A Survival Guide for Expectant Fathers (Paperback)
Finally - a "fun" book to read about the experience as an expectant father! I've read other books but this one has it all - great advice, easy-to-understand information about what my wife is experiencing, recipes on easy-to-cook meals for the new family, and most importantly a humorous and fun angle to everything!
