Overview
From the Publisher
This completely revised edition of the beloved international classic is now entirely in color, with historic, never-before-seen photos in every chapter and an entirely new text.
My thoughts
Well, um, you see, it's like this ... I don't actually have the book you see pictured. I have the edition from ... (cringing) ... the early 80's.
But what a book it is!
I recommend EVERYONE who is pregnant to pick up a copy of this book! Mine was a gift to me from my mother-in-law, and I have treasured it for 20 years! It is a terrific book to give as a gift, especially to a young expectant woman, to help her celebrate the miracle of the baby living in her womb!
The book has spectacular photography of the development of a baby. I remember looking at a photo, knowing the baby in my belly was at the stage of the photograph, dreaming all the wonderful dreams of an expectant mother. I don't know if I ever actually read the book cover to cover, though I certainly read the sections that I felt were applicable to me. But the book is well worth the cover price for the photography alone.
Note from Becky
All books with a read date prior to fall 2003 were not added to this website at the time I read the books; rather they were added after 2005 as I organized my home library. For that reason, the reviews are less substantial than the reviews of the books I have more recently read. That does not mean that the older books were less enjoyable; only that a lot of time has passed since I first read them and I haven't taken the time to go back and review the books. Perhaps in time that will come.
