Along with a large dose of humor, it provides the father-to-be with all the know-how he needs to become a well-prepared, well-heeled partner who's really ready to stand upright and embrace his new responsibilities...rather than cowering from them.

So whether it's catering to his exhausted companion's needs by preparing a nutritional and tasty meal or engaging in a snuggle session when she craves a little cuddling, with the help of this book a guy will become the proud Cro-Magnon caregiver he longs to be

Experienced Caveman Father

I picked up this book for a friend of mine who is expecting his first child. While I am a veteran of the pregnancy and child birth process, I decided to hold onto the book for a bit and check it out. Dave and JR have hit a home run with this realistic and quite humerous guide to being a pregnancy companion. I especially enjoyed the list of "What Not To Do in the Delivery Room" as I definitely violated some of the caveman rules and paid dearly for it. Fellow cavemen, this is a must read. Enjoy!

A MUST READ!

My wife and I have been awaiting our first child for 7 months, so I have been to numerous classes and read several books on the subject. I must say "The Caveman" is the most reassuring and beneficial to me, as an expectant father. I have been so geared up for helping my wife and her needs that I was neglecting my own. I now feel I can come to grips with my role and in turn be a better husband and father. It shedded light on the serious topic in a humorous and helpful way. The "Caveman" is a must read!

Gronk Rocks!

Finally - a "fun" book to read about the experience as an expectant father! I've read other books but this one has it all - great advice, easy-to-understand information about what my wife is experiencing, recipes on easy-to-cook meals for the new family, and most importantly a humorous and fun angle to everything!

Perfect for any expectant father!

This book is hilarious. It will help any father-to-be cope with his wife's pregnancy symptoms. It's a fun way for expectant dads to "experience" what's on the way. The humor will help any man stay sane during some, uh, hormonal moments.

Excellent

Absolutey hilarious, but more importantly - informative. My mother-in-law bought me a copy in light of our impending arrival, and it helped me to understand, and not feel hurt over, some of the emotions my wife is experiencing. It helped my stress level and is helping my relationship with my wife as we go through this wonderful experience. Highly recommended for clueless dads-to-be like myself.
