Just like the manual you get with your car, The Baby Owner's Manual: Operating Instructions, Trouble-Shooting Tips, and Advice on First-Year Maintenance has excellent advice for new parents. Easy to read, it is quirky and humorous yet informative. With tips and hints and illustrations, you'll have a solid idea of what to do for your baby and what to expect from your baby during the first year of ownership. I appreciated the author's use of both male and female pronouns. Here's a small snippet from the first chapter "Welcome to Your New Baby" for your pleasure."Congratulations on the arrival of your new baby. This baby is surprisingly similar to other appliances you may already own. Like a personal computer, for instance, the baby will require a source of power to execute her many complicated tasks and functions. Like a video-cassette recorder, the baby's head will require frequent cleanings for optimum performance. And like and automobile, the baby may expel unpleasant odors into the atmosphere."
