Oh, the joys of parenthood explained by a bachelor with no kids—what could possibly go wrong? The cover of “Change Your Own Diaper” by Nick Krautter, features a pair of tiny hands gripping a diaper, and I can’t help but feel a mixture of amusement and dread. The subtitle promises guidance on parenting without screwing up, from someone who likely hasn’t faced a 3 a.m. diaper blowout or the terror of a teething infant. The pastel background and innocent baby hands make the whole thing look deceptively sweet. But let’s be real, if I ever follow this advice, I’m probably in for some chaotic, hilarious disasters. Fingers crossed my future involves fewer diapers and more sleep!

Rating: ★★★☆☆

Summary: A cover that juxtaposes baby innocence with the dubious promise of bachelor parenting wisdom, sure to entertain and slightly terrify prospective parents.
