I just downloaded What to Expect on my Kindle and my DH said he wanted a book too. Any suggestions for good books for Dads to be?
-
I bought DH "Strong FAthers, Strong Daughters" when I found out we were having a girl. Great book!
-
@chopsuey119: We have that book too
Mr. Jacks read Girlfriends Guide because he wanted to see what all the fuss was about. He said it really opened his eyes and he felt better prepared to deal.

I third strong fathers strong daughters! But the only book I have that DH has touched (and I have them all!) is an older good housekeeping pregnancy & baby book with tons of photos. Lol. Easy to read, I guess - he is a self-proclaimed book hater.

Honestly, we have had trouble finding a good "dad centric" book...all the ones we've looked at seem to dumb things down and are written as if men don't know anything about "feelings" and "maternal instinct". dH has been reading what to expect when you're expecting, as well as a book about birth through the first 2 years by dr sears. there's also plenty of info online!
-
I found Be Prepared, A Practical Handbook for New Dad's a good book for my husband. He's not a big reader but we had fun reading through this one together!

Barnes and Noble had quite a few when I was there the other day, from the dumbed down, but somewhat funny My Boys Can Swim to several thicker, more in depth books. I didn't get to look through all of them, but I'll decongest be keeping an eye on this thread for everyone's suggestions.

The first book I got him was Dad's Guide to Pregnancy for Dummies. Hehehe he actually reads it quite thoroughly. http://www.amazon.com/Dads-Guide-Pregnancy-For-Dummies/dp/0470767901

DH bought "Dad's Pregnant Too" at B&N... and then he'll probably buy a parenting book later on in the pregnancy/post birth.
-
"The Expectant Father " is the one dh picked - he likes it - it's dry practical and doesn't speak to men like they have no clue.
-
DH has already read "Dad's Pregnant too" and I'm not even pregnant yet lol He did like it.
