This book has helped me massively in last couple of weeks before my little son was born. From what to expect over the next coming adventure and really got me ready for what do expect and do when my wife was in labour, all round a great book to have for those what do I do moments.

Must listen for any dad to be

As an expectant dad I've been hunting for a book that is, frankly, a bit more my level than the weighty volumes on child psychology that seem to be everywhere. George's book was helpful, funny, well read and just plain encouraging. You should listen to it as it's fantastic

Loved it

This absolutely flew by. Great to hear such honesty about parenting, and it is funny throughout. So many appearances by famous comedians too, which was a lovely surprise!
