The book would probably resonate better with someone who has kids. Comics like these rely on making an emotional connection with their reader. I couldn't relate, so I couldn't rate higher.

I love Philippa Rice's work so much that I immediately started reading this book right after Andrews McMeel Publishing approved my advance copy request. I couldn't think of doing anything else!!
And I wasn't disappointed at all. "Baby" is hilarious!!
I love when she tells him "Stop asking me about every tiny thing. Figure it out for yourself!" and then literally comes back on the next page telling him to use cream, to do this, this, this and that. Omg, all moms are really the same.
The struggle is so real. hahaha
I don't have kids yet, but from what I've seen from people close to me all these moments are so very relatable. Great read!!

Cute, but true to the bone, of getting pregnant and having a baby, and all the joys and exhaustion alone the way, but with the humor that Phillippa has shown in her past cartoons.
The humor plays on how baby changes everything, but also Philipp's love for her husband, no matter what. and for the baby as well.
Perfect for new moms, and others who still remember what the early months are like.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

A Christmas gift from my husband that was entirely relatable and also sweet and endearing - exciting to read with what's to come in mind. The artwork style was also really cute!

A super cute read that also shows the realities of welcoming a baby! This book feels more like a graphic memoir than a comics collection because of how realistic it is. Not only will it put a smile on your face, parents will find it very relatable too.

Nothing more boring than somebody else’s birth and baby stories. It was erroneously placed in the manga section of the library and serves me right for not reading the blurb on the back.
