Book Reviews of The Expectant Father: Facts, Tips and Advice for Dads-to-Be, Second Edition
Book Review: Most Practical
Summary: 5 Stars
Looking back at the 40 pregnancy and infant books we have, this is the one that I finished reading first.
This book offers the most practical advice in the entire spectrum of topics related to having a child, and what a father can do.
I have added more items to my ToDo list from this book, than from any other book. Although I read this book two years ago, I took the same ToDo list from my first child and copied it for my second. I just realized now, two years later, that this book was a key for me to be a successful father. Armin Brott helped me become a better father by adding more support to my gut feeling that I should try to be the best father I can be, and then gave me more ideas and ways to accomplish that.
If you are reading, Thanks Armin.
