Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Bookshelves abound with activity books for babies and toddlers, but The Rookie Mom's Handbook is the first designed exclusively for first-time mothers. Here are 250 enjoyable activities to help rookie moms maintain their individuality and boost their confidence about leaving the house, socializing, and doing things they've always liked to do—either with or without baby.

Inspired by the popular Web site www.rookiemoms.com, the book offers bite-sized activities arranged according to the baby's age. Some are crafty, some are adventurous, and some simply help get a meal on the table.

Written in a lively, supportive tone and decorated with cute illustrations, The Rookie Mom's Handbook is the perfect gift or resource to remind new moms that there's more to life than dirty diapers and 3 a.m. feedings.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must have for any mom!, July 22, 2008
By Sara J. Wright (Salisbury, Maryland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I LOVE this book, I wish I had it when my first child was born. It is filled with creative and humorous ideas for enjoying the precious time you have with your baby, including tips on how to include your partner and other moms. It gave me inspiration and motivation to get out of the house and take my little ones with me! It does seem to be geared for stay-at-home moms, however, as a mom who works outside of the home, the activities can also be done in the evenings or on weekends.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a perfect gift for a new mom!, April 4, 2008
I always struggle trying to figure out what to give new moms that they don't already have (I love to give original gifts)...I bought this new book on a enthusiastic recommendation from a friend. Before I wrapped it up for my neighbor, I flipped through the book and got sucked into reading it...I sat on the couch with that book for longer than I care to admit. As a mom of two boys, there was definately some information about parenting a new baby I already knew, and LOTS a I wish some one had told me earlier! I laughed SO hard...

It can be a very isolating time to be away from your normal work/friends routine and at home with a needy being that you don't entirely understand. This book is not only filled with great suggestions, it's written in a very funny and familiar tone, and could serve as a welcome friend to a new mom. Not to mention that it's written in tiny digestible chapter chunks...which is all she'll have time for! This book starts where Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy leaves off. After I wrapped up the gift for my neighbor, I ordered a bunch more copies to have on hand for future moms!

5.0 out of 5 stars The shower gift i keep giving..., June 21, 2008
By Karen Solomon (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Thank GOD for this book; i got it at just the right time. Every new mom needs this to keep from going stir crazy, particularly in those first few months. With the billions of useful tips in these pages, a mother's frazzled brain is relieved of thinking of new ways to entertain herself and to introduce her baby to the world.
