  I bought this book because i wanted something with a bit of humor for my husband and this one had excellent reviews. I just received it today and both my husband and I really didn’t like it a bit.

  It’s really not funny at all. The Do’s and Don’ts are so basic that they’re really not funny (example: picture of baby in playpen under ‘Containing Baby’ is a Do and picture of baby in a birdcage is a Don’t, under ‘Waking Baby’ a picture of mum kissing baby is a Do and a picture of mum waking baby with an air horn is a Don’t). Sadly enough, the funniest is under ‘Intrdoucing Baby to Pets’ where playing with dog is Safe and baby in fish tank is Unsafe and even that is not very funny.

  There are about 25 ‘tips’ in the book. From the looks of the book i thought there would be many more pages but the pages are this thick cardboard like baby books which makes it really big to look at.

  My husband and I both found the sense of humor in this book to be naive for adults with a real sense of humor. I would’ve returned it but i had it shipped internationally and received it with the ‘wheel of responsibility’ pin broken which probably happened when it was opened locally at customs. So i’m stuck with it! Would send it free to anyone interested in this not so funny stuff just to get rid of it.

  With all the 5-star reviews on this book I thought it would be the perfect present for my friend’s baby show. Not so. I was SORELY disappointed with this book to the extent that I can’t bring myself to give this as a gift.

  Certainly humor is subjective but I found this book’s humor to fall VERY flat and the ‘jokes’ seem poorly considered and all around weak.

  My biggest recommendation would be to review the content first. All of the book’s 20 or so pages may be found here: [...]

  If you think it’s funny, go for it. Just don’t purchase blindly.

  While this book is on the funny side of baby humor, I would not suggest buying it. If you happen to see it at a bookstore or know someone who has it, a quick look through would do. However, the The Mini Safe Baby Handling Kit might be more worth your while. It has a mini version of the same book listed here, a few magnets of some of the ‘instructions’, some stickers, a stand alone chore wheel for mom and dad and an ‘instructional’ bib. It is cheaper than the book and would make a cute gag gift for a baby shower or someone who enjoys this kind of humor.

  OMG–this book is sooooo funny! My niece recently had a baby, my sister purchased it for her, and I recently visited them & was able to read it. I laughed so hard; I was crying & my ribs hurt!!
