While I'm not a mother, I was intrigued to read this book. Something about preparing for when the time comes (and no its not coming soon). I enjoyed the different styles of stories, from poems to essays to short stories - it was a good mix.
I liked how it stressed that we don't need new stuff constantly to raise a baby successfully, and that as long as the kid is happy, healthy and loved- really who can say you are doing a bad job?
