GREAT BOOK

This was the best, most enjoyable book that my husband and I have ever read We couldn't put it down! A must have for new Dads!

Helpful, humerous and required reading for new dads.

As was true of his previous work, Crib Notes for the First Year of Marriage, DeMorier brings his special blend of humor and wisdom to this guide to early parenting. He presents the early months of fatherhood in an insightful, helpful fashion which functions as a practical guide as well as a reminder not to take this major life change so seriously as to not enjoy it. Tips on buying for baby, savings bonds and college funds are included with practical hints on helping Mom stay sane and assisting with infant care. DeMorier liberally sprinkles all this really useful stuff with a self-deprecating wit that makes you keep on reading. I recommend it to any new or expectant father.

PARENTING September 1998 Page 84PARENTING PICK FOR GROWN-UPSCrib Notes for the First Year of Fatherhood, By Everett De Morier. In their efforts to speak the language of men, many books for new dads offer little in the way of useful information and end up being patronizing to both sexes. Crib Notes is an exception. It not only treats men as if they're intelligent but also offers sensible, often humorous, advice on both emotional and practical matters, Topics range from the financial --- how to save for college --- to the interpersonal --- how to schedule time as a couple, without the baby. Moms may find this breezy, sometimes goofy, list-filled book almost as helpful as their parents will. JOSH LERMAN.
