This collection rocks -- its right on par with the Calvin and Hobbes big book collections. It's worth the extra cash for the color comics and the extra content. Half-way through the songs included and you'll be laughing on the floor.

A must read for new parents, old parents and anyone with young kids. Here's to hoping Kirkman and Scott put out a few more big book volumes!

A friend gave us this book after our second child was born and my wife and I continue to laugh and laugh at how accurate it is. If you have a child you need this book to help keep your sanity.

This was an excellent purchase. The book was in great condition and it arrived very quickly. I bought this for my friend who just had a baby girl (like the characters in the comic strip) and she loves it.

I absolutely love this book. It's really thick and full of fun, spot-on scenarios. I enjoyed every page.

As a die-hard Baby Blues fan (...), I would definetly recommened this book. It has some of the earlier comics, and even includes lyrics to some original songs! A must-read!

I discovered Baby Blues in a Swedish newspaper some years ago while I was spending there my holidays. I was intrigued by it, I really loved it and when I returned to Switzerland, I started to miss it. Unfortunately there was no Swiss newspaper to show that comic strip (don't ask me why, there isn't any rational explanation for that). So when I found one of the books in an English bookstore at the Bahnhofstrasse in Zurich, I couldn't resist and bought it, plus the the first three volumes they had at the store. Needless to say that when at home, I decided to order the rest of the books at Amazon.com! I just noticed that there is a volume 10, I guess I better go and fetch it. Even though I am not a parent, I truly enjoy that fantastic humor of Kirkman and Scott and had a good laugh; it's something I will certainly offer to some future parents I know :-) What I love about those books is that they show very well how much work and stress is involved in having a child (being a parent is a fulltime job besides the one you already have), but it also shows those wonderful moments, when the baby smiles at you and then all those sleepless nights seem so far away...

Funny look at life as a parent. It's nice to poke fun at the things that are happening to you - helps you keep a sense of humor when the going gets tough. Had to pry it away from everyone in the house!

The book is worth the price for so many reasons. It is uncomfortably true, and hits you funny bone. To see the first anatomically correct baby is worth the price. It reminds me of Mort Walker's belly button story. I recommend you spend the money for a brief tour in the land of new parents. You can always wake up screaming later.

Baby Blues is the most hilariously accurate look at parenting I've run into in a while. Get the book, then pester your local newspaper!

This book gives parents a laugh at all those times when peace is preferable over any of those once thought of as "cherishing, isn't he so cute" moments. This book also makes a great baby shower gift! A must for all comic lovers. I never go without reading their weekly comics in the paper!!
