Book Description
The acclaimed national bestseller-a no-holds-barred account of what you can really expect when you're expecting
Oh, the joys of pregnancy! There's the gassiness, constipation, queasiness, and exhaustion, the forgetfulness, crankiness, and the constant worry. Of course, no woman is spared the discomforts and humiliations of pregnancy, but most are too polite to complain or too embarrassed to talk about them. Not Jenny McCarthy!
In the New York Times best-selling Belly Laughs, actress and new mother Jenny McCarthy reveals the naked truth about the tremendous joys, the excruciating pains, and the unseemly disfigurement that go along with pregnancy. Never shy, frequently crude, and always laugh-out-loud funny, McCarthy covers it all in the grittiest of girlfriend detail. From morning sickness and hormonal rage, to hemorrhoids, pregnant sex, and the torture and sweet relief that is delivery, Belly Laughs is must-read comic relief for anyone who is pregnant, who has ever been pregnant, is trying to get pregnant, or indeed, has ever been born!
Customer Reviews:
A nice change of pace..........2007-09-12
I bought this book seeking something other than the typical "What to expect when you're expecting", and that's exactly what I got. I am a sarcastic, slightly cynical person... this book was perfect for me. Jenny McCarthy is straight to the point, and shockingly honest. The book is sincere, but with the comedy edge that makes it less cheesy than most pregnancy books.
Great read for every pregnant woman.......2007-09-10
The book is very honest and very funny. Jenny does a great job at sharing all her embarassing pregnancy stories and reasures us that what we are expieriencing is in fact normal!
more comical than informative........2007-09-07
This book is easy reading however, its not as informative as I'd hoped. I am pregnant for the first time (writing under my husbands name!), and was looking for something funny AND informative. The best book for this topic I've found is "The Girlfriends Guide to Pregnancy" by Vicky Iovine. She is hilarious, and VERY informative and covers every topic. This book basically tells stories of Jenny's pregnancy - which is great - but only one persons story.
Waste of time and money.......2007-09-06
This book was a complete waste of time (the whole hour it took to read it) and money. I found many other books much more informative, upfront and honest.
COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN.......2007-09-02
I LITERALLY COULD NOT PUT THIS BOOK DOWN UNTIL I WAS FINISHED WITH IT. I LOVE HOW TRUTHFUL SHE WAS IN IT. I AM GLAD SHE WROTE THIS BOOK! I JUST LET ONE OF MY FRIENDS WHO IS ALSO EXPECTING THE BOOK. I HAD TOLD HER ABOUT IT AND SHE WAS WAITING UNTIL I WAS DONE. I WILL BE PURCHASING MORE BOOKS BY HER :o)
Book Description
Congratulations, you're a new mommy!
You've brought your brand-new bundle of joy home, and there's so much to look forward to: photos; baby's first word; clipping those oh-so-cute and very tiny fingernails; finding just the right stroller; sex again (gulp!); and, oh yes, losing the weight.
The joys of being a new mommy or daddy are endless, but so are the worries and the advice. Jenny McCarthy, the New York Times bestselling author of Belly Laughs, told you the truth about pregnancy and childbirth. Now she's telling the truth about baby's first year.
With hilarious musings on desperately trying to recall lullabies, losing the weight, baby- proofing the house, encountering mommies with superbabies, postpartum depression, dueling grandmas, and still trying to lose the weight, Baby Laughs is the perfect companion for anyone trying to raise the next president, those just trying to get to the next naptime, and anyone who was ever in diapers.
Customer Reviews:
Just OK.......2007-08-24
I read "Belly Laughs" and loved it, but this one doesn't even come close. It is cute at times and it is an easy, fast read. All I can say is it was OK.
Not for a second..........2007-08-22
OK. The book is soooo true when it comes to the stories of babies and funny beyond tears,,,however not for a second do I believe beautiful Jenny McCarthy got fat. Her new pictures on IMDB are georgeous. I think her next book should be titled,,,,,the laughs on you!
hilarious.......2007-08-14
I laughed so hard that I cried through out this book. It's a quick read, it only took me a few hours to read it. There are so many funny stories, I recommend it to anyone who has a kid! I loved it.
Purchased it as a Gift.......2007-07-28
One of my newly wed very young co-workers is having her first child so I bought this and another book for her. She tells me often how much she is enjoying the books and she keeps sending me thank you notes so I take that as a very good sign!
good laugh.......2007-07-19
I hate to read and loved this story!! If you are a mom you will pee your pants laughing. This is a quick read and very entertaining.

Book Description
Maggie Smith's rhythmic, occasionally rhyming text brings us through a busy day with baby. We count up from one to ten as baby gets out of the bath, gets dressed, has a meal, and heads outside with mom to play. Then we count down again from ten to one as baby notices flowers and birds, splashes in puddles, plays with puppies, and gets dirty enough . . . to need another bath.
The illustrations are bright and busy and filled with things to look at and count. And each spread has a number line on the side with the number of things to be counted on that page highlighted to help youngsters count up to ten and back down again to one.
One Naked Baby is a perfect blend of counting book and story that children will want to hear and look at again and again.
Customer Reviews:
one naked baby has an adventurous day.......2007-09-12
This is a fun counting book about an inquisitive toddler who gets clean and then quite dirty in the course of one fun-filled day. The illustrations are colorful and engaging and it is great in that it presents numbers for young readers. I think this is great for children from around 1 year through 4 years. My 2 year old likes it a lot.
The toddler's antics are accompanied by bright, fun drawings........2007-09-07
Maggie Smith's ONE NAKED BABY offers a rollicking simple counting rhyme for the young reader, following a baby as he has a bath, gets dressed, and eats a snack. The toddler's antics are accompanied by bright, fun drawings.
Another wonderful read from Maggie Smith.......2007-06-19
I bought the book for my 17 month old daughter last month and we have had a wonderful time reading it together. Mostly she loves the illustraions (given her age) and pointing at the baby who appears thoughtout and saying "baby". She is very gentle and respectful of the paper pages (norally she reads board books) which is a testimony to how much she values it. We took off the dustcover and set it up on her table in her room so she can see it as well as a piece of artwork. The artwork thoughout is wonderful, the colors so rich and the images very evocative of farms and gardens I knew as a child in the country. We think the counting theme will sink in very soon, although the target age for that is somewhat older. The story is simple enough for a very young audience, but the illustrations and the wealth of subject matter rich enough that I think this is a book most children will treasure for a very long period of time.
One Naked Baby runs away with your heart.......2007-05-05
I loved this book! Every time I opened it I found something new. With counting numbers, adorable animals and wonderful details, from the first page to the last this bouncing baby boy book is completely charming! The illustrations and simple rhyming text make this book a winner. Young children will reach for it again and again with a new discovery each time.

How to Photograph Your Life: Capturing Everyday Moments with Your Camera and Your Heart
ASIN: 0140294848
Release Date: 2000-04-20 |
Amazon.com
Anyone who has ever witnessed a baby escape from his mother's arms--sans clothing--and run wildly, or crawl as the case may be, about the house in what can only be described as a euphoric state knows that babies are really at their best when they're naked. No bonnets or booties to hold them in--just pure, blissful nakedness. In Naked Babies author Anna Quindlen and photographer Nick Kelsh expertly record this unique time in childhood when modesty means nothing at all. Quindlen's perceptive and personal essays are remarkable musings on motherhood and the amazing little miracles that babies are, while Kelsh's photographs are, well, amazing little miracles in their own right. Shot entirely in black-and-white, these are not cutesy, sentimental, or traditional photographs. Rather, Kelsh captures "specific aspects of babies--the perfection of a hand, the swirls of a cowlick, the smoothness of skin on the neck--and all are honest, exquisite, and invitingly tactile." Both "an unusual meditation and a wondrous book," Naked Babies is the perfect gift for the parent or the parent-to-be.
Customer Reviews:
Simple and sweet.......2007-05-27
This book has both beautiful photography and beautiful words. It's a very sweet gift for a new mother, or any mother. It has quotes about children and babies, and a mothers love explored through the nature of babies.
A nice additon to a coffee table.
Beautiful and Bittersweet.......2007-03-26
I purchased this book years ago, and ever since I have pulled it out every once in awhile and sighed over the amazing pictures of babyhood.
Since having my two children, this book means even more to me. It captures the perfection of babies in their natural state - naked and joyous. The shape of an ear, the way a baby cries with all their breath, the flushed cheek of a sleeping child. I could never take photographs this well, but it perfectly captures the way I want to show my children - perfect in their everyday way.
Anna's text that accompanies the photographs wonderfully captures the bittersweet knowledge of every mother that first lays eyes on their newborn and knows that they are going to grow up so fast. Every mother can't help but see their children as they were when they were babies; naked and perfect. No matter how old our children are, they are still our babies.
This book is an amazing celebration of babyhood. The perfect gift for a baby shower, or any parent.
Take to a baby shower........2004-12-18
This book was a big hit at a baby shower. Place it unwrapped on a table and watch people, especially the mother, laugh as they leaf through it.
Beautiful work! Misuse by pedophiles unlikely........2002-10-23
After buying Nick Kelsh's other book: "Photographing Your Baby" to get ideas for photographing our own daughter I checked out "Naked Babies". This book isn't about babies in the buff, it's about the tender beauty of newborns. It's little arms, chubby legs, gentle folds of baby fat, and those dimpled baby bottoms.
In response to the other comment about pedophiles buying this book: those kinds of people are going to think what they think regardless of whether they have a book that visually depicts the innocence of babyhood. Deeming the images in this book "inappropriate" outside of the family photo album seems misguided. Bookstores including Amazon.com have stockpiles of books that communicate explicit messages of rape, murder, and other vulgarities that are far more dangerous than glimpses of tender baby skin. The masses should not be deprived of great works of art merely because a few perverts might interpret the message in a perverted way. Seriously, this is a touching book for anyone who loves babies and/or wants to photograph their own baby more artistically.
Great for the mother in your life.......2002-09-14
After reading about this book in the paper, I bought a copy for my mom and she absolutely loved it. I don't know what it is about babies that tends to drive women crazy, but whatever it is, this book has it.
Book Description
Soon after Baby Blues began in 1988, it was widely lauded as the best comic strip about modern family life to appear in many years. Thirteen years and more than 4,000 strips later, it's one of today's top strips and considered among the best family comic strips ever. Butt-Naked Baby Blues is the third treasury to chronicle the never-ending mayhem of the McPherson household in living color. As usual, Darryl and Wanda have their hands full chasing, refereeing, and pleading with their adorable and hilariously true-to-life kids, Zoe and Hamish. Featuring the best of Lift and Separate, I Shouldn't Have to Scream More Than Once!, and Motherhood Is Not for Wimps, it also includes original gems and insight from the creators themselves.Baby Blues is a past winner of the National Cartoonist Society's comic strip of the year, and is also an animated television series in its second season on the WB network.
Customer Reviews:
Funny and Cute.......2006-03-08
I've never read any comics until I read Baby Blues on a newspaper about five years ago. It's so funny and cute. I am not a parent, but I still enjoy reading this book. Highly recommended.
Baby Blues hits the spot!.......2002-12-05
We have two (recently three -- just like Wanda and Daryl!)
kids, and Baby Blues ALWAYS helps turn our family turmoil
in to laughs. This one is as great as the others.

Customer Reviews:
Fantastic Transcription.......2005-02-22
The transcriptions here are almost note-for-note with the album, for every song. While the previous reviewer is correct when he says that the most challenging (and fun) song to play is Philosophy, he seems to have missed the point of a transcribed score, which is to offer a dead-on transcription of what Ben Folds and company play on the record.
Don't judge an apple by the standards of an orange. While the keyboard part might in turn be a little simpler than some talentless hack's mashed up attempt to meld bass, guitar, piano and drum part into a song for one performer, it is truer to Ben Folds than any more 'complicated' version might be. I want to know what Ben Folds plays, not somebody's interpretation. If I wanted someone's poor interpretation, I'll write it out myself, thanks.
This isn't to say that if you aren't accompanied by a full band you're SOL. The lay-out also makes it fairly easy to say 'Okay, I have a couple measures of rest here, but the guitar's going crazy, let's play that line instead' and proceed to rock out.
And I for one hate it when the melody line of the vocal is written into the piano score. Frankly, if the song was meant to be vocal and piano accompaniment, let's keep it that way.
This book is fantastic and does exactly what it set-out to do: Transcribe note-for-note a wonderful, amazing album.
Not great if you play the keyboard-except philosophy.......2003-07-25
The keyboard parts in this book are fairly simple and unchallenging with the exception of Philosophy. If you are looking for a book that has a lot of good licks but less boring background stuff that you can play by ear, get the Signiture Keyboard licks book and whatever and ever amen. If you have the Signiture Keyboard book, you have realized that the most essential and challenging part of the song Philosophy is missing in the Signiture keyboard licks book, and this is why I purchased this album book. I am happy with paying the price for it because playing Philosophy straight through is really a rush. The price is well worth it if you don't mind having a book that will only have a few fun song in it. Also, if you are looking for good tab and the full score, this book is almost note for note.
Not great for Keyboarders, with exception of Philosophy.......2003-07-25
