The Perfect Baby Handbook

The Perfect Baby Handbook (Harper Paperbacks; Trade Paperbacks; On Sale March 24, 2009; $16.99), satirizes these “excessively motivated” parents in a well-illustrated and sophisticated package, providing badly needed comic relief from the pressures of being a new parent today, giving comfort to many who, if they can’t laugh at themselves, can at least say, “At least we’re not this bad.”

Of the book, The Three-Martini Playdate author Christie Mellor wrote, “The perfect guide for all those new parents and parents-to-be who are starting to realize that the ‘perfect baby’ may not, in fact, exist in nature. Delightfully absurd, thoroughly imaginative, and very funny.” Elle editor Miranda Purves, also wrote that this book is “Brilliant! Must-read comic relief for anxious new moms and dads, and all the people who lovingly put up with us.” For a chance to Peek Inside the Book, check out Dale Hrabi’s website.
