By now, I've probably read this book three or four times. Although the beginning was a bit boring, a couple of chapters in I got really into it. All of it was told with a bit of a funny tint. You can tell he loves his kids through it!
Always liked you Al..now I think I love you!

The most enjoyable read I've had in a long time! I always respected and enjoyed Al as our local weatherman on the local NBC news - this the THE man you always trusted to tell you the REAL weather..well after reading the book..this is the man you're going to trust telling you about REAL life too. The candor he expresses with regard to the medical profession.. the arbitrary nature of health insurance..adoption..divorce..marriage..racism are but a few topics covered in this book. It enlightened me..it made me laugh and cry..but more than that..it made me want the book to never end. This is more than a "celebrity fluff" book. Run..don't walk and get this book..for yourself..and share it with anyone you love.
Humor and heart for parents and children

Al Roker has always been one of my favorite television personalities. He never fails to brighten my morning and get my day off to a snappy start (no matter the weather). I am not a parent (though my partner and I would like to adopt one day), but when and if the time comes, this book will be close at hand. It's heartening to know there are broadcast journalists out there who can communicate humor and heart simultaneously.
Honest yet hysterical

This is true Roker. It isn't often that I laugh outloud and re-read a line to laugh yet again aloud. This book is both touching and very funny... to experience the pregnancy, fatherhood, and interactions with others through Roker's eyes. This book is on my Father's Day list for sure! Highly enjoyable.
