Did you know an author (or his/her publisher) has no real control over where your book is filed in those big box bookstores? True. Our other funny baby book, (our hilarious take on the baby journal, The New Parents’ Fun Book) is permanently housed a few books away from Dr. Spock in the Child Development section at both Borders and Barnes and Noble. Not with the other baby journals at all. Weird, no?

Our handy baby instructions were actually first printed on our fun Snapsuits.  Nursing Baby was one of the Snapsuits that caught the eye of Running Press, our eventual publisher. Here’s some Safe Baby Handling Tips trivia for y’alls:

• The book was designed and illustrated by Dave Sopp, Wry Baby’s resident art guy. In fact, every bit of design and illustration produced by Wry Baby is from his hand. You can see how he did it here.
• The couple in all the illustrations are Kelly and Dave, the authors and founders of Wry Baby.
• The poor baby featured in the book isn’t their son, but a generic, made-up baby. Kelly and Dave’s son was a toddler when they illustrated the book.
• The Wheel of Responsibility® was a last minute addition to the cover of Safe Baby Handling Tips. It was (and still is) a stand alone best-selling baby shower gift that has recently also become Wry Baby’s first iPhone App!
• We hear a lot of stories from folks who experienced some doofus rookie parent moves similar to what we feature in the book. Like the gentleman who really did throw his child too high into the air…into a ceiling fan! His wife was quick to tell us that it was okay because the ceiling fan was off.

Through a minor disturbance in the time-space continuum you will spend the week feeling as though you and your family are living one hour forward…in the FUTURE! Place all sporting wagers and buy all stock futures before November 2009, when time will return to normal.

GIFTS: For Dad – by Joyce Slaton - …Another thing you should put in the survival kit: Wry Baby’s Safe Baby Handling Tips. As much as you’d like your baby-daddy to be reading Dr. Sears or Elizabeth Pantley, it’s not likely. This satiric, graphics-based guide to keeping baby alive will at least amuse Daddy as he learns that peekaboo is a better game for infants than chess, and testing bottles is better done by shaking a drop of milk on the inner wrist rather than taking a swig.
