Book Description

April 20, 2010
An honest bar-table discussion for the freaked out soon-to-be-dads of the world.

Finally a parenting book that expectant fathers will actually read!

In The New Dad from A to Z, author and filmmaker Dan Consiglio offers freaked-out, first-time dads-to-be an honest, bar-table discussion about the reality that awaits them. No guilt trips, no only-parents-get-it inside jokes, no inane sarcasm, just the straight dope refreshingly mixed with some offbeat humor to ease the crippling anxiety.

Feeling less like reading a book and more like having a conversation with a friend over a good beer, The New Dad from A to Z cuts through all the silliness, scare tactics, and obfuscation found in other books targeting dads-to-be, instead giving them as close of a reality dose as they can handle before that bundle of joy drops into their world.

5.0 out of 5 stars The only book that matters June 7, 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
With my first child a mere three weeks old, I've kept this book in my back pocket at all times. It's been my crutch, my instruction manual and my right shoulder angel. My drunken, cigar-smoking right shoulder angel.

This book is a must-buy for any new dads.

5.0 out of 5 stars fatherhoodipedia July 20, 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
As a first time dad, I can't even count how many times I've referred to this book for some much needed levity. Well, there was this one time when my daughter number 2ed all over her crib, and thought it was chocolate cake batter. But you don't need to know about that. But really, this book helps comfort me in the way a double scotch on the rocks would. It's all going to be ok.

2.0 out of 5 stars cute book
Really cute book but not very informative. I found other books to be more informative. This book is good for a coffee table but not really to get to know how to be a new dad.

I bought this to give as a gift for a cousin who's a grad student and just had his first baby. This couldn't be more perfect for certain young guys. It's funny, and spot-on. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm still scared. But now I'm less scared.
It's become a running joke in my fairly new union with my wife--for us, the prospect of kids is still YEARS away. Read more
