- Although Dale Hrabi began life as an eerily non-verbal baby, he went on to become an acclaimed editor and writer for publications such as ELLE, Wired, and The New York Times. The former editorial creative director of Details, he was also a top-dog at the irreverent pop-culture magazine, Radar, a 2008 finalist for The National Magazine Awards “General Excellence Award.” This would be even more impressive if it had won.
Dale grew up in Alberta, Canada, attempting to master every known art or craft, reading Jane Austen and The Official Preppy Handbook, and admiring America’s love of excess from a distance. He currently lives in New York City, where he is working on his next book and consulting unofficially on the upbringing of various moody, terrific kids including Woolfie, Annabel, Dahlia, and Felix. He looks like this photo except not sickly gray.

I gave a copy to my friend, a new grandmother, with instructions to pass it on to her daughter. The new mom was so delighted, I decided it will become my standard "baby shower gift."
Even if you haven't been a parent, you'll find this hilarious. If you're a grandparent, chances are, you'll find it even funnier.

It's been years since Dr. Spock wrote his infamous book on child rearing. But unless you're a die-hard fan of the retro, you wouldn't make your kid wear clothes from the 1940s, would you? So why apply baby and child care tactics from before we had cable TV and BASE jumping to your precious miracle?
There's a solution, and it's modern! It's The Perfect Baby Handbook, whose contents will certainly make your miracle into a very interesting member of society. Results, of course, will vary.
If you can't tell by now, this book is actually a work of humor parodying and satirizing modern-day child rearing tactics. Hrabi, the author of this clever tome, has the kind of merciless wit that will wait and hide in the shadows, only to spring out when you're least suspecting it and sucker punch you in the funny bone.
This book will definitely tickle the parent-to-be, the parent, and the empty-nester, and anybody else who has had to raise a child into a majestic, glorious superstar. It will even appeal to people without children, provided that they like to chuckle at the type of parent parodied in this book, using laughter to cover up the fact that the child is already more successful than they are... But if you fall into any of the categories above, chances are, you'll love every bit of of the Perfect Baby Handbook.… (plus d'informations)
