Question 1

The Baby Owner's Manuel by Dr. Louis Borgenicht and Joe Borgenicht is the last book that I read. I finished it in early February 2019. It was a quick read that took only two weeks.

Question 2

It was great because it is a book that gives detailed plans and instructions for men to take care of a baby. There are lots of diagrams, charts, and memos to help new fathers.

Question 3

The book contains "operating instructions, trouble-shooting tips, and advice on first-year maintenance" for babies. Basically, everything a man needs to know about babies and how to care for them.

Question 4

I chose it because it is designed for men. Most baby help books I feel are written by women and/or target a female audience. I love The Baby Owner's Manual as it is written by men and for a male audience.

Question 5

No, I like reading books but I do not have the time recently. I read a lot of articles online, usually when I eat my breakfast.

Question 6

I have never used the reading tree, but I will in the future.
