Porn for New Moms [Tammy's review]

Awesome! Porn for New Moms is Tammy's 'new favourite book' over on Mom Knows Everything:

There is nothing more sexy than a guy holding a baby while vacuuming!  I love this book so much that I'm going to get my niece, who is expecting a baby in a few weeks, a copy of this book for Christmas.

Porn for Women [Sean's review]

What's Porn for Women is lame for Sean:

[The] idea of an image of a man vacuuming with a “humorous” caption beside him is about as disagreeable (not to mention unfunny) as a poster of a cat dangling from a clothesline with the obnoxious “Hang in there, baby!” sprawled across him.

Porn for Women [Alessandra's Review]

On my 3 year anniversary, I'd like my husband to give me a hand made card. That would be hot. It's the little things... Alessandra, from the beautifully designed Bluepaintred blog, got a little thing in the form of the book Porn For Women:

The book was smaller than I expected, Just 15cmx15cm, but it is filled with wonder and JOY! On each page is a photograph by Susan Anderson depicting a household chore being done BY A MAN! A hot man! At the back of the book is a section where the models are introduced and I could not help but notice that none of the model Bio’s say that the guys are married.

*hope*

Porn for New Moms [Cambridge Women's Pornography Cooperative]

[Porn for New Moms]From the Cambridge Women's Pornography Cooperative

Courtesy of Raincoast - Chronicle Books

Porn for New Moms -- Hot on the heels of last year's runaway success, Porn for Women, the female pornographers from Cambridge are now tackling the fantasies of new mothers. What really turns them on? The CWPC locked themselves in the lab for months to find out. And the results are in this scientifically proven, steamy photo collection of hunky guys doing exactly what new mothers want. Prepare to enter a fantasy world, a world where men insist on changing diapers, where guys get up for 3 a.m. feedings, and where they just can't help but admire mom's sexy all-sweatpants wardrobe. Page after page of titillating shots and dream-worthy captions will make every mother swoon. In fact, it might just leave her begging for more. . . . Oh, daddy!

About the Author
Despite countless interview requests, members of the Cambridge Women's Pornography Cooperative remain anonymous. Encouraged by the positive reception Porn for Women received, the group continues its heartfelt mission to redefine pornography.

Porn for Women (Cambridge Women's Pornography Cooperative) [Joanne's Review]

What get's you hot and bothered? Joanne, over on Book Zombie, discovered exactly what women want in her book review:

PornforwomenGive the fairer sex what they really want beautiful PG photos of hunky men cooking, listening, asking for directions, accompanied by steamy captions: "I love a clean house!" or "As long as I have two legs to walk on, you'll never take out the trash." Now this is porn that will leave women begging for more!

Little Hoot [Margotinto's Review]

It looks like has been added to ReRe's bedtime reading over at  's house.  Check out her of this short book which I suspect she will be reading over and over again.

This little Owl takes himself very seriously, as does our son, and his sense of injustice is palpable. I think our little guy identifies with Little Hoot's frustration with the illogic of adults...

It comes complete with an anecdote of reading Little Hoot, by & Jen Corace, to a daycare crowd. I'll leave you to visit his full review to read that part of the story.

Here's a quick except of Barry's review on his blog :

Doing what your parents tell you to do is not always easy, especially if you are a little boy and not a little owl. That's why a book like this is so helpful!

Prepare to enter a fantasy world. A world where clothes get folded just so, delicious dinners await, and flatulence is just not that funny. Give the fairer sex what they really want beautiful PG photos of hunky men cooking, listening, asking for directions, accompanied by steamy captions: "I love a clean house!" or "As long as I have two legs to walk on, you'll never take out the trash." Now this is porn that will leave women begging for more!

About the Author

The Cambridge Women's Pornography Cooperative (CWPC) was created by women, for women, in 2005 to redefine the way we look at pornography. Our mission is to recover the term "pornography" from the gold-chained, hairy-chested, leisure-suit-wearing, mouth-breathing knuckleheads, and reclaim it for the rest of us. CWPC members have opted to keep their membership roster unpublished, out of concern that our colleagues in academia, medicine, and the media may still have underdeveloped senses of humor.

The Cambridge Women's Pornography Cooperative asked women, young, old, rich, and poor, "What really, really gets you hot?" Armed with their findings, they worked day and night to create Porn for Women.

Little Hoot by Amy Krouse Rosenthal & Jen Corace

It's not fair! All Little Owl wants is to go to bed at a reasonable hour, like his friends do. But no . . . Mama and Papa say little owls have to stay up late and play. So Little Owl spends all night jumping on his bed, playing on the jungle gym, and doing tricks on his skateboard but he's hooting mad about it ! Children who have a hard time going to bed will love this fun twist on the universal dilemma.

Jen Corace graduated from Rhode Island School of Design with a BFA in Illustration. A New Jersey native, she now lives in Seattle.
