Book Reviews of Baby's First Tattoo: A Memory Book for Modern Parents

Book Review: Lighthearted fun for the young parent
Summary: 4 Stars

This book is exactly what's described in the description here: A comical take on the traditional baby's memories book. For someone who was a little overwhelmed at the amount of stuff out there that's targeted towards new parents (read: designed to guilt new parents into buying their schlock so you don't feel like you're neglecting your child), this book was a breath of fresh air. Realisitically, neither I nor my wife would have ever completely made use of a straightforward baby memories book, and in fact, I have yet to meet anyone who actually did. This book, on the other hand, is entertaining by itself so you don't feel that its purchase was a complete waste even if you never fill in any of its pages.

Some gems from the pages include: "Diameter of baby's head" followed thereafter by "Diameter of hole baby's head came through." There are places to record baby's first projectile vomit, and even baby's first DWI. There's even a ledger of expenses you can fill out which start out with hospital expenses and even include cost of spring break, cost of first auto repair, and cost of "finding oneself".

This is funny, funny stuff. It's not intended to be a serious memory book for any child, but it provided me, a parent, with plenty of giggles.

Summary of Baby's First Tattoo: A Memory Book for Modern Parents

MILLIONS OF PEOPLE THINK CHILDREN ARE THE CUTEST,

CUDDLIEST, MOST WONDERFUL, SAINTLY CREATURES

IN THE ENTIRE WORLD.

THESE PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE CHILDREN.

THEY HAVE NICE THINGS. THEY COLLECT FRAGILE POTTERY. THEY HAVE CANDLELIT DINNERS IN FANCY RESTAURANTS. THEY GO TO MOVIES. THEY HAVE WHITE CARPETS.

PEOPLE WITH SMALL CHILDREN HAVEN'T BEEN TO A RESTAURANT WITHOUT

PLASTIC SILVERWARE IN YEARS. THE LAST MOVIE THEY SAW IN A THEATER IS NOW

ON AMERICAN MOVIE CLASSICS. THEIR HOUSE LOOKS LIKE IT WAS

DECORATED BY PEE-WEE HERMAN.

BABY'S FIRST TATTOO IS FOR THEM.

For years parents have been buying baby books to document all the precious moments in their new baby's life -- Baby's First Tooth, Baby's First Haircut, Baby's First Step. What have been ignored for too long are those "alternative" precious moments that really should be written down, celebrated, and remembered -- Baby's First Projectile Vomit, Baby's First Tantrum in a Crowded Grocery Store, Baby's 10,000th Dirty Diaper. Otherwise you might forget them and think of becoming parents once again.
