Narration & content

Stephen R Thorne could be narrating the dictionary and I would still be entertained haha. He’s the best. The content of the book is informative, well written and IMPORTANT! I do highly recommend this book to all parents. Really as soon as you find out you’re expecting, you should have the “What to Expect When You Are Expecting” book and this one!
