Product Description
Finally—A Pregnancy Book That Won't Put Men to SleepMy Boys Can Swim! tells real men everything they really want to know about pregnancy, such as: How much is it going to cost? Why does your wife primp before seeing her doctor when she hasn't put a stitch of make-up on for you in months? And, most important, what's it going to do to your sex life? This rollicking, laugh-out-loud book is for expectant dads in search of bottom-line pregnancy information, without all that boring touchy-feely stuff you find in those books written for women. Inside you'll discover helpful—and hilarious—information and insights on such topics as: The Maternity Wardrobe: "A key part of the maternity wardrobe is maternity underwear—parachute-like undies big enough to fit an NFL defensive lineman." Baby Names: "Don't give your kids mockable names like Thaddeus, which is Greek for 'I'm a dork and should be beaten up.'" The Birth: "No one told me it's normal that babies' heads can be misshapen at birth. I was convinced that my wife gave birth to Veldar, the conehead." |

Waste of $10 by S. D'Anna (Madison, WI)  1 Stars
November 13, 2009
Look carefully at the details on this book before you buy. It's tiny. I mean, really tiny. Think "Little Golden Books" tiny. Don't waste your money on this - even as a new father gift. It's worth $3 at most. The text itself is mildly amusing, brief, and mostly accurate.

too lame! by Jewel  2 Stars
October 27, 2009
I'm all for trimming down pregnancy facts, but this book is a little too lean. For example, it basically states, Nothing really happens in the first 3 months. In my opinion that is not helpful advice for poor clueless husbands.

Great book for men who never read by Trista Johnson (St. Paul, MN)  5 Stars
October 19, 2009
I felt bad buying all sorts of books for myself, so I picked this one up for my husband. I couldn't believe my eyes when I actually saw him reading it! I have never seen him read anything aside from the sports section in the paper. He read it front to back in one night, laughing out loud at various points. He really seemed to enjoy it - he read several passages from it to me out loud. I liked it because it made him understand what women go through while pregnant. It was a really short book (less than a hundred pages) but nevertheless a good purchase.

He thought it was corny by R. Williams (Indianapolis, IN) 1 Stars
September 10, 2009
I bought this for my Daddy-to-be thinking it would be cute to stick in a funny book with all the other serious books we planned to get through before baby arrived. Initially he seemed interested and even picked it up to read the same evening I gave it to him, but soon it ended up on the bookshelf with all the other discarded and/or previously read books. I later confronted him about the book, asking if he liked it or finished it. He confessed he felt it was stupid and not worth his time. Thankfully he was still interested in the serious books, so I didn't realyl care but I would warn others that this may be a little too... I'm not even sure the word, but not worth buying and/or reading. I would suggest checking it out at your local library before purchasing.

My Boys Can Swim Review by Shannon N. Soat  3 Stars
August 18, 2009
This book was smaller than I thought it would be for 9.99. My fiance liked that is was small, but he said that most of the book was about the author's own experiences and opinions, not really as educational and informational as he would have liked. A good book for someone who does not want to read very much and looking for a good laugh. My fiance was looking for something with more general prenancy info. This book could have spent more time on each trimester.
