The amount of information in this book is amazing. There are so many topics that are covered so that you can learn the basics of different ideas related to pregnancy and baby care. Paula Ford-Martin does a great job at explaining fairly complex ideas in a way that everyone can understand them.
The illustrations in the book are simple and uncluttered, allowing the reader to view what they need to see in order to gain an understanding of anatomy related to pregnancy. The monthly drawing of how your baby is growing are delightful for readers of all ages. These images are also great for the youngest readers, making it a great book to share with your children.
I highly recommend this book as a staring point for anyone who is thinking about getting pregnant, already pregnant or studying for a pregnancy/maternity related career.
