“My Boys Can Swim!: The Official Guy’s Guide to Pregnancy” is great reading material for the dad-to-be who has neither the desire nor the patience to spend a quiet evening by the fire with a good book. What man does? In this brief yet entertaining book, father and author Ian Davis tells guys everything he thinks they need to know about pregnancy, from how much it is going to cost to what it is going to do to your sex life. Coined “laugh-out-loud worthy” by readers everywhere, “My Boy’s Can Swim” is perfect for expectant dads in search of bottom-line pregnancy information without being touchy-feely or overloaded with clinical jargon. The pages are filled with helpful and hilarious insights on topics such as baby names (“Don’t give your kids names like Thaddeus, which is Greek for 'I'm a dork and should be beaten up’”) and birth (“No one told me it’s normal that babies’ heads can be misshapen at birth. I was convinced that my wife gave birth to Veldar, the conehead”). While it should not replace “What to Expect When You Are Expecting” as a reference, “My Boys Can Swim” is a quick, humorous and relatively painless way for a guy to learn a little more about what he can expect during his wife’s pregnancy.
