Book Description
To breed or not to breed? That is the question twenty-eight accomplished writers—including Anne Lamott, Rick Moody, Kathryn Harrison, and Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez—ponder in this collection of provocative, honest, and deeply personal essays. Based on a popular series at Salon.com, Maybe Baby features parents and nonparents alike exploring how and why they decided whether to have children.
This powerful collection offers both frank and nuanced looks at those choices, both alternative and traditional, from a wide range of viewpoints. From abortion to adoption, from ambivalence to baby lust, from single parenting to searching for the right partner to have a baby with, Maybe Baby brings together the full force of opinions about this national—but also intensely personal—debate.

The pro side does not paint a happy picture.......2007-07-05
I bought this book because I'm on the fence and leaning towards no kids. Without friends and family with small children I wanted to read about how children could enrich your lives or things you might get out of having them so I liked the idea of a book that presented several angles on whether to take the plunge. On the whole, I found the pro side of the book very disheartening. Most of the writers seemed to talk about how hard things were, what an ordeal having children was, etc. There was very little joy and happiness represented. A fascinating read but not as balanced as I would have liked.
Still confused.......2007-06-23
This just wasn't the book for me. Maybe it was because it was filled with stories by writers that I couldn't easily relate to (one who decides to become sterilized at 30, one who is bipolar, one who is in jail, one who gets pregnant by a man in jail, etc etc.). I'm not judging these people, but I don't feel like they reflect the norm. I also feel like the authors didn't make a strong case for the category they fell into (yes, no or uncertain). So for me personally, it did not help solve my "maybe baby" dilemma.
On Topic, Candid, Beautifully Written. Makes me wish I had writers as friends..........2007-01-20
Having a child is a huge decision, and yet there is little candid discussion about it in society, so this book is a great contribution. All of the essays are incredibly well written, and very honest. If this is a subject that interests you, you may well read it in one sitting. (I did.)
The book also aims to expore a wide diversity of experiences and feelings on the subject. The gamut includes: 1) a rather shocking essay from a feminist professor who intentionally gets her tubes tied when quite young, seemingly to make a statement; 2) an essay from a Latina woman whose child struggles with a diagnosis of autism, and her subsequent inability to accept the diagnosis; 3) genuinely funny essays, covering everything from the (entertaining) reasons certain people never got around to having kids, to the joys of roadtrips with them.
excellent read!!.......2006-10-30
I totally agree with "gensparkie"'s review. This book is excellently written, conveys tremendous honesty, and shows a huge diversity of thinking on the issue of having kids. Best book on this issue I have ever read.
depressingly enlightening.......2006-09-20
I find this book fascinating for many reasons. My wife and I have just decided to have a baby, and I had read excerpts on salon before the book itself. I found myself agreeing with many of the sentiments expressed. In the decision, I found myself trapped by my own selfishness, and found that mirrored in many of the essays. But I thought: what if my parents had been this selfish? What if all they were concerned about was the mess their kids would turn their house into? The loss of free time? To be honest, I was very concerned that I wasn't "cut out" for parenthood - but reading these essays, I came to grips with my selfishness, and realized there's more to life than me.

Easy and good read.......2005-10-29
I don't have time to read a book cover-to-cover, so I appreciated 'How to Survive Your Baby's First Year'. I keep it on the night-table by my bed and read a few tips/stories every night. This book isn't meant to be an expert driven in-depth exploration of how to care for your baby. It's meant to share some good advice from real moms and dads on how to get through the first year with your new baby - and it does that well.
1st time mom.......2005-10-21
Somewhat entertaining, quick read, NOT informative. It was more about people sharing briefly their experiences than it was about actual useful tips. It's comforting to read about other parents going through similar challenges but you can read about that for free at one of those online newsletters [...] AND get some real, useful advice from other parents and experts in childcare. Not worth the money to get the book.
I won't be keeping this on my shelf for much longer.
Okay as a fun read..........2005-08-28
I think I got the wrong impression when I bought this book, I thought it would be a little more informative then it was. Most of the comments from other parents are "inspirational," not educational. I was looking for the book to actually give tips on infant care, but there was only a few of them that delivered on that thought. I think it is a good read only as entertainment.
Sister loved it!.......2005-03-05
It got this book for my pregnant sister, and she loved it! Said the stories were hilarious and touching, and the advice from everyday folks was fun and useful.
What to Read When You are Reading the "so called" experts.......2005-01-24
What a pleasant surprise. I was given this book and figured it would be like all the other baby books...i.e. they make you crazy. In the other books some expert tells you how exactly your child will develop and how you should respond. That's not real life.
Every child is different (as is every parent) and that is the strength of this book. The editors have interviewed hundreds of parents who have been through the same new born child experience. They share great and different advice. It is quite frankly a relief to know that there isn't just one way and that other parents share the doubts and experiences that the rest of us do. I highly recommend adding How to Survive Your Baby's First Year to your library.

will help you decide.......2007-07-11
Maybe Baby is a series of essays from adults on the subject of having a child. The first third of the book is from adults who decided not to have children. The second half is from adults who would like to have children or are undecided, but haven't yet. The third is about adults who did have children. I'm not sure how I felt about the book being grouped in this way because it made it very clear what the theme of the story would be, rather than letting each story tell itself. Other than this fact, I found the book very enjoyable. The stories represent a great deal of diversity, from gay parents, parents of Asperger's Syndrome children, adopting parents, teen parents. Of course, there were many stories from people who were not parents as well, and they also ranged in their diversity. Both men and women wrote essays in this book, which surprised and pleased me. On one hand, I think it is different to be a father than a mother - it is a very different thing to decide to carry a child in your womb than for someone else to do it. On the other hand, I am sure men will be interested in this subject and would appreciate their perspective being included.
If you are ambivalent about having a child, this book will help. Oddly enough, I am still ambivalent but I am now quite sure that I do not want to NOT have children. Now, it is only a matter of deciding WHEN I will have children. If you read this book, you will find sections that resonate with you. Perhaps if you would like to be childless, the first third will really resonate and you will feel confirmed in your convictions. For me, I realized that I did not want to be childless and I hadn't felt the feelings expressed in that section of the book. But I could really understand the fear and uncertainty of the undecided, and definitely some of the parenting stories both scared me and soothed me.
All the stories are written by professional writers. For sure, this changes their perspective on life. Many of them are able to work from home or have flexible work to be with their children more. Unfortunately, this does affect the perspective. If only there was some way to capture the perspective of someone more like me (with a time-consuming business career), but someone like me would probably not have the skill or time to invest in writing essays for Salon.

How Babies are Made.......2007-06-02
This book is perfect for the young child up to 11 yrs old. My parents told me about were babies come from with this book and I have passed on the information to my daughter with the same book. Easy to read and understand for both parent and child. Great for informing girls and boys about their maturing bodies.
straightforward and informative for young kids.......2007-03-07
Like many of the other reviewers, I was pleasantly surprised to see that this book is still out there. My parents bought this book when I was around 5 years old and this is how I learned the facts of life. I consider it an excellent book and will get a copy for my daughter as soon as she's old enough.
This is a very straightforward book that explains the basic facts of how reproduction occurs in a way that young children can understand. It begins with the pollination of flowers, then moves on to chickens, dogs, and finally humans. It covers the facts of copulation, fertilization, growth of the baby, and then birth, along with the basics of reproductive anatomy, with a combination of brightly colored pictures and simple text. It manages to teach the facts without being overly graphic or embarrassing, not an easy task for a book on this topic. It sticks to the facts and doesn't venture into the realm of values, but leaves plenty of room for parents to discuss their own values.
I'd recommend this book for ages 4-8, keeping in mind that it does lay all the facts out on the table, so if you're not quite ready for your younger child to know exactly how that baby got in there and how it gets out, you may want to look for a different book. Most kids older than 8 or so would find the illustrations and simple text to be too childish and would need a more sophisticated book. This book also doesn't address puberty or other aspects of human sexuality that might be covered in a book for older kids - it strictly deals with where babies come from.
PROBABLY THE BEST OF THIS GENRE.......2006-12-17
This is one great little book. It was most helpful with the grandchildren. Very tender, very to the point. Explains everthing quite well. I was unable to find one offensive picture or word in the entire book. I do wish I had had this one around when our children were growing up. If you have a young child and are having difficulties with this particular subject, which many folks do, then this is certainly one you want on your shelf. Highly recommend this one.
honest and tender.......2006-03-18
I had this book as a kid in the early 70s, and I loved it. I bought it for my six year old daughter, and it seemed to be a good fit for her. The authors give enough information without being preachy or technical, without stating values other than creating a human baby is a special relationship. I really dig this book, and would recommend it to other open-minded parents.
Not What I Expected.......2005-09-26
This book was a bit too graphic for our purposes. I'm pregnant, and I wanted a very basic story of where babies come from to read to our 3 year old son. But this book's pictures were just too graphic, including cutaways of a women's uterus and man's sperm entering, showing a man and woman under the covers, animals mounting each other, etc. This would be appropriate for an older child, but the reviews I read made me think it was appropriate now. Well, not for us.

lighthouses.......2000-04-15
Being from North Carolina, it was delightful to see Cape Hatteras Light on the front end paper. Lighthouses are significant in NC and used as a unit theme by many teachers. This book shows not only lighthouses from around the country but presents the history and function of lighthouses suitable for pre-school and primary grade children. The print is large and the illustrations are concise.

Simplicity is its strong suit!.......2006-09-16
When I first got this for my son (2 years), I thought "What a snooze-fest!" We were still high on the Mo Willems wave, still in love with Knuffle Bunny and the slightly off-kilter viewpoint of the Pigeon, so the utter barrenness and simplicity of Machines at Work honestly put me off. But, as it is all about the baby (and don't he know it!), Connor simply loves it! Although he is fickle (we have now moved on to the pop-up Bug series by David A. Carter) it firmly held the New Boy Times #1 bedseller slot for a good 3 weeks (an eternity to the toddler set). It also was known to douse many a tantrum (great diversion - "I know you just ka-bonked your head on the dining room table for the fortieth time today, but LOOK AT THESE COOL TRUCKS!") and entertain on long car rides.
The story (as it is) involves a diverse work crew doing stuff with simple 4-5 word narration for each page. It is so simple, it is almost zen-like. And Connor came to be able to repeat each phrase as we turned the page - as soon as I opened the cover he would gleefully shoud out "Hey, you guys!". Reading this to him at bedtime has become one of the fondest memories of my fatherhood experience, and hopefully one of my son's funnest moments.
A Byron Barton Classic.......2006-05-24
Our copy has now passed on to our third child -- Anna and Jane loved this book, and Danny loves it, too.
Byron Barton really seems to "get it" -- what captivates a child. Bold illustrations, nice use of color, and just enough detail for a board book.
Board books aren't necessarily meant to teach or be encyclopedic -- they're like good friends that you visit every day, and look forward to doing so. "Machines At Work" is just that -- a good friend.
We've named the characters, we make construction sounds when we read, and we love the lunch break and the end of the day pages.
Solidly constructed, wonderfully illustrated, and age appropriate, "Machines At Work" is a winner, sure to please any pre-reader. Thank you, Byron Barton!
Good for Learning to Read.......2006-02-22
My two year old recently figured out all the sentences in this book, and reads them aloud. He feels so proud after finishing the story, and reads it almost every night. Of course he's just memorizing but its one of a few books that he "reads".
A Comedy?.......2005-10-26
My three year old son usually only lets me read him books with characters he knows. I gambled on this one and came up a winner. I'm not sure why, but he laughs through the whole thing and wants to hear it again and again. He loves to beat me to the first line, "Hey you guys!" For my reluctant reader, Machines at Work is a winner.
Construction for the young 'uns.......2005-06-13
When you write as many reviews of children's books as I do (and is there any more pompous way to begin a sentence, I wonder) you sometimes find yourself at a loss for words when it comes to the simpler ones. And author/illustrator Byron Barton is, if nothing else, the patron saint of picture book straightforwardness. There is no wry undertone to a Barton book. No sly wit. No winks or nods to parents and educators beneath the simple childlike text. Nope. Byron Barton is an author that writes stories for children and children alone. In "Machines At Work", Barton (who's millions of books have covered every topic from planes to dinosaurs) tackles that perpetual toddler fascination - - the worksite.
In this particular book, we observe a wide variety of small workers (male, female, white, black, etc.) off to work. Some climb readily into their machines. Others dictate instructions from below. For this day, the workers knock down a building, bulldoze trees, dump rubble, take a lunch break, build a building, and build a road (amongst other activities). Then the expressionless crew heads for home after a long and satisfying day. Says the text, "More work tomorrow".
The book begins with the sentence, "Hey, you guys!". For those parents amongst you who remember the heyday of that classic PBS show, "The Electric Company", you know how best to read that line. Otherwise, the sentences in this book tend to be instructions. The narrator (and, hence, the child reading the book) tells the little people what to do and they do it. I was intrigued by the prior reviewer of this book who commented that though we see the workers apparently build a road and building, no final product is ever shown at the end. It would be nice to see the result of all this work. Obviously Barton thinks kids would be far more interested in the breaking down and building up than in the end products. I was also a little amazed at the amount of destruction in this book as opposed to the significantly smaller amount of construction.
But these aren't really criticisms. If you've a kid who likes machines that go vroom and boom, it's hard to find fault with this book. There are plenty of simple words with thick black lines for kids to understand. No, it won't name the machines one by one. You'll have to find a different book for that. Still, it's a nice enough preschool title to entrance those kiddies who're already enamored of these friendly agents of destruction. A simple text that is certain to find a wide appreciative audience.

So-so.......2005-05-04
My 5 year old daughter started asking questions about how babies are made. I bought this book hoping it would answer the questions that were difficult for me to try and answer. I didn't really think this book did a very good job. There's too much going on on each page, that it was confusing. And it didn't really answer her questions very well.
Good for younger kids too!.......2002-12-18
I bought this book to help me explain my growing belly to my 2 year old son. Most of it is beyond him, but he enjoys the flaps that show different versions of the same scene. His favourites are (1) Mum with a big belly on the outside and flip for the baby inside, (2) happy baby and flip for crying baby, (3) awake baby and flip for sleeping baby. So he now points to my belly and says "baby". I don't know how I would have got the idea across to a 2 year old otherwise. A handy-dandy book to help prepare an only child for the twins that are coming soon!
Not bad, but there are better titles. . ........2001-07-04
If you are considering purchasing this, some points to consider are: Cartoon-ish illustrations with talking eggs and sperm. Text refers to the uterus as a "womb", umbilical cord as a "tube" and navel as a "belly-button" without giving accurate labels. Also uses terminology such as "pees" and "poops." Describes the mother as being uncomfortable and "ready for the baby to come out" along with an illustration of an unhappy, 7-months-pregnant woman. Text also states the baby comes out of the "opening between the mother's legs" again, without giving proper name. Presumes presence of Doctor and Nurse at birth, and alludes to labor and birth process but does not illustrate or detail. To its credit, the book does a fair job of explaining role of sperm in determining gender, and that eggs come from the woman and sperm from the man. Does not address intercourse in any way, but shows fertilization with talking eggs/sperm. Illustrations are colorful and bright. Creative description of amniotic sac (without calling it such!) and comparison to a goldfish in a bag of water. Describes what baby might experience in utero. Shows breastfeeding mother but then shows bottles as well. Illustrations of fetal development are accompanied by "real-size" outlines. Not a bad choice if your interest is in explaining fetal development (consider Nilsson's "How Was I Born?" for photographs), but not a good choice if you want to discuss intercourse and birth. May be great for some families, but we prefer Joanna Cole's "How You Were Born" and "How Babies Are Made" by Andrew Andry.
Very Informational.......2001-05-22
I thought that this book provided very good insight to a question, that is often raised by children at a young age. This book answered many questions regarding where babies do come from. Most pre-school children think that they come from mommy's stomach. I would reccommend this book for early-childhood educators,as well as parents of young children who are expecting again.
