Book Reviews of A Child Is Born
Book Review: A Child is Born
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an exceptional book. I first read it 35 years ago when my daughter was born and am still excited about it with my son whose girlfriend is pregnant with twins. We have discussed many chapters and learned much about the pre-oxygen life of babies.Book Review: Great Book
Summary: 5 Stars
The pictures and the text in this book are worth it. Watching your child grow and reading about what is going on inside helped me and my wife feel closer to our unborn child. There are come chapters that could have been left out, but otherwise I would recommend this book to any family with a baby in the oven. Book Review: Buy this book for the pictures - not for the information
Summary: 3 Stars
The pictures are truly mindblowing but a lot of the information is out of date and inaccurate. I would not use this book as a source for maternity information.
On a more minor note it also splits the pregnancy up into strange time periods, sometimes there are several weeks between one update and the next, which is weird for such a picture heavy text.
That said the pictures are great and worth the price. (Even if they are mostly the same ones from the 1970s Nilsson Life Magazine spread.) If you want a good resource when expecting, this is not it. The parts with the out of date info are not only irritating but occasionally dangerous and contradict what is written in several other books Dr. Sears books are a very good choice comprehensive and non-judgmental and, some say, not as scary as What to Expect.
Book Review: The greatest book for expectant Mother's!
Summary: 5 Stars
I remember this book when I was a child and my mother would would let my sister and me look through it and we would ne in awe. Now as the Grandmother, I bought this book for my daughter, and she loves it!Book Review: Phenominal pictures!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book has some of the most beautiful images of child development. True photographs showing the development. In addition is is written with easy to understand language... but the photos... just out of this world.
