My coworker purchased my hubby "what to expect when you're wife is expecting" and he absolutely loved it. This book was very comical for my hubby and the flow of the writing explained things so that he easily understood. He loved the book so much tht even though ge read it ahead of the weekly schedule in my first pregnancy,  he pulled it out to read again this pregnancy since I'm having some new symptoms. The book made him super empathetic,  aware and appreciative to not be a woman...lol.

My husband read, " She's having a baby and having a breakdown." Not a big book. Written by a new dad, and humorous. Fast paced read.

When I am experiencing certain things and I don't feel like he understand I read about it online myself then read him the cliff notes.. I know he is listening and understanding when I'm the one relaying the message. The worst is when he listens to other people's experiences then comes home telling me what's going on with me or what's going to happen then I have to correct him on how everyone is different or that person CLEARLY did not have a clear understanding on what their wife was going through them selves.  I have made it very clear to keep communication open if he is ever curious or has concerns and he is good at that

I also bought my husband "Dude, you're gonna be Dad". I also enjoyed reading it. It made me laugh.

Check out your local library there was this really educational book that was not big at all that my husband said he enjoyed reading.  It was written by another dad.  I can't Remember the name of it though cause it was a while ago but I found it at the library

Try "dude you're gonna be a dad" it's on Amazon. They have a lot of stuff for dad that is fun. Try to look also for baby barbells or the baby owner's manual.
