5.0 out of 5 stars Wet-your-pants hilarious!, January 21, 2008

By	M. Miller (MD, United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was in a bookstore, and happened upon this book. I picked it up and started to read, and began to giggle, out loud. I felt that I was being too loud, so I closed the book and put it down until I felt I was under control again. I then picked it up to read, but burst into giggles again. This happened several times. I wanted to buy the book in the store but it was kind of beat up, so I ordered from Amazon. I gave this book to my friend for her baby shower, and it was the absolute hit of the party! You know how everyone passes the presents around, "Oh, how nice, ANOTHER tube of Desitin!" "Oh, of COURSE she can use another frilly baby headband!" and no one really looks at them or cares? Well this book took about an hour to make it around the circle; its progress was punctuated with shrieks of laughter. We even called her husband in and he read it and totally cracked up. My friend says she is actually going to use the spinner on the front of the book.

I think my favorite parts of the book are the "Testing Baby's Bottle", "Introducing Baby to Pets", and "Bonding With Baby", but to be honest, they are all hilarious. I read the book about 10 times before I gave it to her and I still giggled each time. I don't have any babies, but I think I might just buy this for myself for laughs. Fantastic shower gift.

5.0 out of 5 stars When drying baby, wrap baby in soft towel. DO NOT place baby in dryer., December 6, 2005

By	Jason Rene "Jason" (Somewhere out there, USA) - See all my reviews

This book is hilarious! I can't think of a better gift for someone who is about to have a baby. Sure, you could buy them a Dr. Spock book, a car seat, diapers, or some other equally boring gift, but this ten dollar treat will have them actually remembering who you are! Of course, it also might end your friendship if you are implying in a not-so-subtle manner that you question their parenting skills and believe their baby is in imminent danger. But even if they do never speak to you again, at least you will always be remembered for this wonderful book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great gift for first-time parents!, April 21, 2006

By	Jeanne Hunter (Carmel, IN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My brother-in-law purchased this book for us when we were expecting our first child. It is hilarious!!!!!!!! My husband loves to show it to everyone that comes over to the house. It's a board book (in alignment with all the books a new parent is about to purchase for their child) with the Wheel of Responsiblity on the cover that is an actual spinner you can use with your spouse. The graphics are absolutely funny and to the point. A great gift for parents-to-be!
