Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Nice design, but missing content.
I bought this book because I am a great admirer of Wurman. After I read 'Information Anxiety 2' I simply wanted to buy any piece of paper that he writes on it.
The book was a bit disappointing to me and to my wife. It may be because we already have a few different (and very good) pregnancy and birth books.
I expected practical information on each topic, such as helping tips about each period of pregnancy, the birth itself, and maybe tips for the first year. There are only ... Read More
Rating:  - One of the most underrated books of all time
This book is simply amazing. It's loaded with (usefull) facts and info with everything you need to know from 0-3. It's highly stylized and I understand why some people would call it a "coffee table book". It's drawn up in a way that you can learn any fact in seconds. No piece of writing ever goes beyond 3 sentences (the average is 2) but that's the beauty, it's free of "fluff" and "filler" material.

Rating:  - Not what I expected.
I was looking for a book that would truly help me "understand" my baby, however, this wasn't the book. This book was fun in the sense that it had intersting facts and pictures, but it was much more of a coffee table book that a reference book. Choose a "What to Expect" book or a Dr. Sears book if you are looking for USEFUL information!!
Rating: - I love it!
I am an expectant parent and absolutely love this book. I have been using it throughout my pregnancy for prenatal tips and am now preparing for parenthood by reading into the rest of the book including what I need to buy, healthy sleep habits, feeding, child care and more. I highly recommend it to all parents of young children.
Rating: - It's Great!
I love this book! With limited time for reading, I find the format so easy to use. I've gone to it again and again when looking for infromation regarding my young child. I don't think any new parent should be without this!
