I just read another review from an expecting woman with her first child and was sad to hear that she was depress after reading this fabulous book. Honestly women have no idea to what being a MOTHER is until you are one!!! this book was a blessing to me as now I know that in some aspects of raising a child, I am not the only one who thinks that some days are horrible! I am buying these books for my mohter & mother in law this year for mothers day and I know that since they are MOTHERS they will be able to understand and appreciate this book and reflect on the wonderfull journey that they have as MOTHERS! THIS BOOK MAKES MOTHERS HAPPY EVEN WHEN THE GOING IS TOUGH AND I RECCOMEND THAT YOU GET IT FOR ALL YOUR MOTHERS!!!

I found this book to be full of absolutely adorable photos and captions. It made me laugh out loud several times. It's a lighthearted look at motherhood - bits of wisdom mixed in with humor. Charming! I would recommend it as a fun gift for a mom or a mom-to-be.

My gal Sara is a photographer as is her younger sister who is expecting, so we picked up this book of incredible black & white photographs of Animals, many of them with their mothers. The first page is a gorgeous shot of a baby Polar Bear, the second a kitten who looks like she's trying to lift a barbell. There are terrific shot of puppies, monkeys, giraffes and elephants. More shots of frogs, rhinos, hippos and kangaroos. Lots more to appreciate in this little book that was obviously put together with great care. Perfect for the expectant mother, perfect for her to share with her child later on too.

Once again I am writing a short bit about a Bradley Trevor Greive book. All of his little books with there superb photos of animals in very human situations are worth owning. They will all give you a million laughs. But I especially like this one, as it shows the trials and tribulations of mothers of all ages. Don't get me wrong, fathers will find laughs here too. I particularly like the photo of the timber wolf with her paw around her cub's shoulder. The baboon drinking bottled water is adorable too. Heck, who am I kidding, all the photos, each and every one, are adorable. I just love Mr. Grieve's books and if you have a funny bone anywhere in your body, or a tender one, you will too.

the "foul" language mentioned in other reviews consists of 2 or 3 "..."s, nothing vulgar.
there is a picture of 2 animals having .... but it more looks like the male bear is giving mom a backrub with a caption about parents being walked in on during "intimate moments".
this book tends to highlight the *wonderful* points of parenthood. i have a 2 year old and i was able to relate to most of the book. i think it is a wonderful book that looks at the not-so-pretty truths of parent/motherhood. it is a great laugh and would make a great gift for any parent or parent-to-be.

Such fabulous photographs I am on line buying 4 copies for gifts. The cover caught my eye at the grocery store and I purchased the book. Got home and read it, too cute, had to have more. Now I am on the computer ordering and sending them to friends and famliy in the States. A perfect gift.

I love every book this man has put out! The pictures are priceless but then you add the little comments at the bottom and they become hysterical. I found the comment from the lady who's mom bought her the book because she was expecting her first child very comical and have a feeling that once she has that child, she will find the humor in the book because almost every single page has happened at one point or another if you have children. Kids are hard work but they are also the single most important thing you'll ever do and are an endless source of joy. I give these books as gifts a lot and they always bring a smile and most of the time, burtst of laughter.

Thought this little book was hilarious! We all have THOSE days.

Awesomely uplifting and clever tribute to moms- He did it, again....Bradley Trevor Greve wrote another book that is the perfect gift for any mother.... or anyone that loves cute photos of animals.

As with all of Bradley Trevor Grieve's "little picture books", this one was a joy to read. I really enjoy reading through his books and always find an inner peace when I do. He touches on so many subjects with humor and deep insight. I have used his books as gifts many times. There is always a book for whatever occasion arises. And it will make you feel better about life in general!
