So I sat down on a Friday afternoon with the book Mama Never Told Me… by Emily Van Do and illustrations by g.f. Newland. This book took me no longer then 15 minutes to read cover to cover. It’s a cute, clever read that makes you laugh and smile between the actual comments and illustrations that accompany each page. Each page contains a pregnancy related comment and an illustration of the same woman throughout her pregnancy. The comments come from family members, co-workers, and even the mailman about hormones, inability to travel, figure and growing breasts. For anyone that is currently expecting or has already had a baby, they will absolutely relate to the commentary. It will bring back memories of the off wall comments that individuals would inflict on you when you were pregnant. This is a great gift for wishing well, stocking stuffer or a person you want to give a small token to. Also, I thought it was very amusing that on the back cover the author placed positive and negative thoughts she received about the book. All of the comments were very amusing. This is a fun book which is currently available in destination maternity superstores.
