good medicine for parents-to-be!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I found this book to be both entertaining and inspiring. This book is NOT a scientific textbook on birth and childhood. Instead, it tries to convey what it's like to be a parent from an emotional point of view. It's all about bonding with your child and being there for her. It's a fun book but also wise. I'd recommend this as a present for friends' baby showers--particularly if your friend is really stressed out by the thought of becoming a mom!
perfect gift for expectant couples

We've been giving Véronique Vienne's "Art of..." books as presents for a lot of occasions, but this one's our new favorite: we like it because it's perfect for both the future mother AND father; fathers are given their due in this book! (which must be unique in books about pregnancy). The text is Vienne's usual funny, apt, sometimes surprising advice; and the pictures are better than ever: there's one of two little girls dancing which is worth the price of the book; another, of a kids' party, shows one child watching on as another seems to be doing the twist--the look on the face of the first is enough to make anyone want to go out and make babies. So, if your kids aren't getting around to propagating as fast as you'd like, perhaps you should give them this book now. Who says you have to wait till someone gets pregnant?
