With so many serious tomes on parenting about, it’s good to look at the lighter side, and Jeff Green offers a wealth of humour, even when it comes to the not-so-pleasant aspects of pregnancy and birth.
It’s a simple format, and easy to dip in and out of (perfect for those early sleep-deprived days when you have the concentration span of a goldfish) – and the anecdotes will certainly make you realise that:
(a) you’re not the only one ever to have suffered
and
(b) laughter is often the best therapy.
Some of the entries are a little gross, and may put off those who are still expecting, but generally this a good read for prospective dads (and mums who need an insight into the peculiar thing that is the male brain). My particular favourite was under G for Gas and Air “Thank you Dr Entonox”. Hear, hear, I say!

Good fun – a great gift idea for a father-to-be. Just don’t follow his advice about babysitting or feeding sandwiches to three-week-olds…
