The Inappropriate Baby Book: Gross and Embarrassing Memories from Baby's First Year

by Jennifer Stinson

Any parent who's been through the rigors of an infant invasion knows that the real poop, er, scoop, rarely gets recorded in those precious little keepsake books. After all, those books don't cover all the really gross and fascinating stuff that makes parents laugh, scream, and scratch their heads. The Inappropriate Baby Book, however, has the good stuff covered. A real baby book for real parents, The Inappropriate Baby Book offers a unique and hysterical way to commemorate those decidedly non-Kodak moments that compose the better part of the newborn experience. Herein, you'll find room to record such facts as:You were introduced to a rectal thermometer on this day: _______.The first person you peed on was _______.Your mom was embarrassed by breast leakage in the following places: _________.Your first poop happened on this day: _______, and was this color: _________.Now, that's the kind of information that should not be lost to posterity!Sure, babies are cute, but they are also stinky, sticky, soggy, and otherwise inappropriate. So don't sugarcoat the story-let The Inappropriate Baby Book help you tell it like it really is.The book includes an envelope affixed to the last page so that an inappropriate memento can be saved forever. (Or at least until the little angel's prom night!)

This is a a funny interpretation of a traditional baby book, and I really wanted to give it a higher rating. What's there is good, but there is so little of it. The book reads like a quick single entry blog post and not a baby book to record events. That's okay if it's what you expected, but that doesn't match the Amazon description that says you'll find room to record such facts as: You were introduced to a rectal thermometer on this day: _______."

If you want a funny and short book to read during a baby shower, it's great and worthy of a higher a rating. If you want an actual book to record baby milestones with - look elsewhere.
