easy read books for dads-to-be?

eacerna · June 2010

I tried to use the search function but can't find anything :-/. I want to get DH a book for Fathers day. He is not a big reader so any easy read will be great!

Thanks!

Be Prepared: A Practical Handbook for New Dads

This book has lots of pictures and it's hilarious. I'm sure he'll love it - B was laughing out loud in the bookstore reading it. Stick out tongue

None? Not like they'll read it anyway! Mine didn't! Take a class. And then be prepared to answer all their questions from the books you read.

Ben liked both the books I got for him: My Boys Can Swim! for a funny read, and The Expectant Father for a more informative (but still very easy to read) book. I'd highly recommend The Expectant Father - it's not too technical to be intimidating but not so jokey that you don't take it seriously, and even I got some useful info out of it! They have one called The New Father that I'm thinking of getting for him as well (it focuses on the first year of parenting).

I picked this book up for Brian. We looked through it together. It was a pretty funny, easy read, with real info in it. I was kind of surprised at the amount of info I found in that book that I had already read in my own pregnancy/parenting books.

E, trust me, get him this dvd and watch it together.

It's really informative whilst being really entertaining at the same time (hell, we both even got a little misty at the end too, as it shows the birth of the presenter's first child):

The original version (Australian). Take a look at the preview vid on here for that birth scene if you want:

The Australian version of Being Dad was such a huge hit, they made a USA version and a UK version. Here's the USA version:

HAHAHAHAHA! Russ isn't a big reader so this made me laugh!

I forwarded Russ the weekly updates I got from Baby Center, he loved them. I also read him the important parts of all the books I was reading.

Russ go a lot out of the pre-natal classes as well.
