Every family covers the same ground before a son arrives, and this book says so plainly rather than pretending the experience is unrepeatable.
The ground in question: the name that took months to agree on, the bag waiting by the door, the first night home. His name appears in the dedication and again through the pages, and that is the whole mechanism — it is what turns a nice book into his book rather than one about babies generally. Hardcover.
The universality is the point rather than a weakness. What a family wants from a keepsake is not novelty but recognition, and recognition arrives faster when the details are the ordinary ones. Read it once in the first week, then put it away for years.
