4.0 out of 5 stars Great Gift For An Expectant Mother, March 6, 2001

By 

Paul Mahoney (Katandra West, Victoria Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: David, We're Pregnant (Paperback)

This is one of Lynn Johnston's earlier works before she became famous for her cartoon strip "For Better or Worse".

Unlike the strip "For Better or Worse" which is centred around the Patterson family and usually has a continuing story line this book contains one panel gags (101 in total) and has a variety of characters in it. Although for those who have followed her cartoons you may be able to find a young Elly & Michael Patterson in the book.

The book has a lot of funny gags told from a variety of perspectives including from the first time parents, expectant mothers, fathers, siblings etc.

It would make the ideal present for someone who is expecting or for someone who is a Lynn Johnston fan.

This review is from: David, We're Pregnant!: What's So Funny About Having a Baby? (Paperback)

I received this book 22 years ago when I was pregnant with my first child. I have given it as a gift to each friend who became pregnant. It is funny but oh so true. It makes you realize that you are not the only one going through it but in a very funny way.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best pregnancy book., February 26, 2000

By

This review is from: David, We're Pregnant! (Paperback)

Throw away the Brazelton. Throw away the Spock. Buy the set of Johnston books on pregnancy, childbirth, and early parenthood. You will gain far more wisdom. Well, maybe not wisdom. Certainly perspective! Lynn helped me and many other incipient/new parents put the whole "kid thing" into perspective. You gotta laugh at the whole situation from time-to-time.
