Book Reviews of The Rookie Mom's Handbook: 250 Activities to Do with (and Without!) Your Baby

Book Review: Rookie Moms
Summary: 3 Stars

The good: I really liked the outing suggestions. It's great to have a supportive source telling you to GET OUT OF THE HOUSE! This is great advice for new moms. The crafts are also wonderful.

The bad: While I love the blog that the authors of this book put out, the book itself falls flat. Some of the activities are meant to be lighthearted - but seemed to be about trying to pretend you aren't a parent now, and one activity I even felt was unsafe! Leaving your infant in the car for a nap while you sit outside nearby didn't seem like a great idea to me (from a big city)... There were a few too many 'grown up only' activities for me and I wanted to see more activities WITH my baby.

Summary of The Rookie Mom's Handbook: 250 Activities to Do with (and Without!) Your Baby

Bookshelves abound with activity books for babies and toddlers, but The Rookie Mom's Handbook is the first designed exclusively for first-time mothers. Here are 250 enjoyable activities to help rookie moms maintain their individuality and boost their confidence about leaving the house, socializing, and doing things they've always liked to do-either with or without baby.

Inspired by the popular Web site www.rookiemoms.com, the book offers bite-sized activities arranged according to the baby's age. Some are crafty, some are adventurous, and some simply help get a meal on the table.

Written in a lively, supportive tone and decorated with cute illustrations, The Rookie Mom's Handbook is the perfect gift or resource to remind new moms that there's more to life than dirty diapers and 3 a.m. feedings.
