Really good

I am a father-to-be. After browsing through tons of titles, this book caught my attention. It offers an easy-to-follow description of what scientists have learned so far about life in the womb. From the mother-embryo links, to the development of the new human being, to the prepration for birth, this book is exciting. The chapter about the brain is particularly interesting. On the down side, I wish the book had suggestions for further reading on each topic.
