I personally hate these types of parenting books, well all of them really, unless its comically done like the UTD book by Kaz whatshername.
I DID however really like the WOnderWeeks book. I wouldn't say its a parenting book, I just know that whenever DD seems to be a real turd I'd go to the book and yep sure enough we'd be smack in the middle of a wonder week. It did little to offer real help but I found that just knowing what was happening to her to help cause the behaviour was such a comfort.
I think someone else also suggested it, but I'd buy them another book one that is more of a gentle parenting one and slip it in as a present along with something else.
You never know, just because people think a certain way BEFORE a baby comes doesn't mean they will think the same way afterwards.
