Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

This engagingly entertaining and instructive pregnancy guide is based on the conceit that most men are "twenty-first-century Cro-Magnons" at those times when an expectant father "stops, scratches his head, and mutters to his woman, 'I don't get it.' " What is immediately obvious about the book, however, is that it is actually a superb overview of the birthing experience and is a perfect companion to a classic like What to Expect When You're Expecting. But the Cro-Magnon conceit is what will make this a perennial gift book for expectant fathers, since even the most enlightened male might not initially be interested in learning about prenatal massages, amniocentesis and a wonderful range of easy meals to prepare for a tired spouse, all of which this book expertly details. Best of all, to serve as the reader's mentor and guide before and during childbirth, first-time authors Port and Ralston introduce a typical modern caveman named Gronk ("Role Models: John Belushi"), whose deer-in-the-headlights reactions to subjects such as sex during pregnancy are delightfully drawn by Kendall.

Product Description

A three-trimester evolutionary crash course to guide the prehistoric papa-to-be through the prenatal, preparental wilderness. Every man should read it!

What’s a clueless caveman about to become DAD to do?  After all, it’s tough carrying a child for nine months—for him as well as for her. He’s just not sure how to behave. But help is on hand, in the form of a reassuring (and hysterically funny) course for the totally perplexed. Along with a large dose of humor, it provides the father-to-be with all the know-how he needs to become a well-prepared, well-heeled partner who’s really ready to stand upright and embrace his new responsibilities…rather than cowering from them. Every cave-student will find out how to support his mate through this emotional time, cope with his own feelings, deal with baby-related projects, and perform admirably during labor and delivery. So whether it’s catering to his exhausted companion’s needs by preparing a nutritional and tasty meal or engaging in a snuggle session when she craves a little cuddling, with the help of this book a guy will become the proud Cro-Magnon caregiver he longs to be!

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST READ!, June 6, 2006
My wife and I have been awaiting our first child for 7 months,
so I have been to numerous classes and read several books on the subject. I must say "The Caveman" is the most reassuring and beneficial to me, as an expectant father. I have been so geared up for helping my wife and her needs that I was neglecting my own. I now feel I can come to grips with my role and in turn be a better husband and father. It shedded light on the serious topic in a humorous and helpful way. The "Caveman" is a must read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Gronk Rocks!, June 5, 2006
Finally - a "fun" book to read about the experience as an expectant father! I've read other books but this one has it all - great advice, easy-to-understand information about what my wife is experiencing, recipes on easy-to-cook meals for the new family, and most importantly a humorous and fun angle to everything!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, June 2, 2006
Absolutey hilarious, but more importantly - informative. My mother-in-law bought me a copy in light of our impending arrival, and it helped me to understand, and not feel hurt over, some of the emotions my wife is experiencing. It helped my stress level and is helping my relationship with my wife as we go through this wonderful experience. Highly recommended for clueless dads-to-be like myself.
