Each book listed here has been painstakingly reviewed according to three different criteria: 1) the books current reputation on the market, 2) the value of the information being provided to new and expectant parents, and 3) it's overall readability.
Some of the books are old standards (but newer editions) and some of the books were published last year and touch on topics in new ways that we believe are relevant to modern parents.
If you disagree with our selection or believe that there is a better book out there on pregnancy, please feel free to contact us at:
We welcome all comments, criticism, and advice. We'd like this to be the best top 40 listing for pregnant and new parents EVER.

I read and used this book for teaching my first to sign, and I will definitely use it again with my second child.
As an occupational therapist who works with elementary school-aged children, I don't feel it's important that you use classic ASL (American Sign Language) to teach your baby to sign: you do, however, need easy signs to use and remember. Besides, this book uses enough ASL signs that my 20-month old son had a nice little hello with a deaf mom behind us in line at the grocery store.
The instructions are simple enough: you're basically just adding sign to what you already say to your baby; and it's not like you have to start it when they're 6 months old - when you already have your hands full; and you don't have to do all the signs at once: you start off with one or two and add them into your vocabulary. Once baby starts using signs: believe me, you remember them, and start making up your own, fast! (we had to make up, "hot air balloon" and, "tent" because they weren't in the book).
The best benefit ever: when my son started using sign, friends and family were eager to learn it too so they could understand and talk to my son, which increased his language interaction with people, which increased his verbal and social skills, which made people want to talk to him even more!
I had fun keeping a diary of all the words he would sign and say, but I can't keep up any more, he's already into 2 and 3-word phrases at 22 months, and imitating every word he hears (including German and Spanish!)
Good book, worth a check-out from the library!
