George Lewis’s Don’t Panic! takes the expectant dad on a chronological ride from pregnancy right through to baby’s first birthday, with a deadpan northern wit that makes even the scariest milestones feel less daunting.

One of the book’s highlights are the “Dad Tricks” – pithy paragraphs of advice that pop up throughout, offering comic relief just when you need it. Lewis also ropes in fellow comedians like Kerry Godliman, Russell Kane and Andy Parsons, so the whole thing feels like a supportive nod from the comedy world to bewildered new fathers.

It isn’t all laughs: there are moments where serious topics such as postnatal depression are handled with care. But the overall tone is warm, funny, and reassuring – the kind of book you can dip into while nervously waiting in hospital, slumped on the cot-side couch at 3am, or perched on a park bench with one foot rocking the pram.

More companion than manual, Don’t Panic! won’t give you all the answers, but it will make you smile while you fumble towards them – which is probably the point.
