Written by Mem Fox and nicely Illustrated by Kathryn Brown, Tough Boris is one of those children’s books that you can read over and over and never tire of.

And I read dozens of pregnancy and baby books. Babies need lots of stuff and that stuff costs a lot of money. The process of trying to decide what to buy and not buy can be overwhelming. Baby Bargains has extensive charts, detailed information and helpful hints to let you know exactly which brand and model is the best for you and it’s written in an easy to read (and reread) format. It includes information on bedding, clothing (even maternity), furniture, monitors, car seats, high chairs, diapers, strollers, bathtubs and more. I could go on and on. I had mine filled with highlighter marks and post-its before we went to register for my baby shower.

The authors’ Baby Bargains web site is another excellent resource. Their forum topics are appropriate for newborns to preschoolers and range from feeding to potty training to vacations. I’ve always been impressed by the helpful hints posted there.

Baby Bargains is an excellent book. It will save you tons of money, help you feel confident when making your purchases, and save you the frustration of buying the wrong thing.
