Wie die erfolgreichste Familienserie anfing. Aus dunkeln Archiven gerettet und nach vielen Jahren jetzt wieder zu haben: Die Anfänge der mit über 140.000 verkauften Exemplaren erfolgreichen Serie erscheinen jetzt in einer liebevoll ausgestatteten Sonderausgabe, mehr Seiten und eine edle Umschlagklappe zum gewohnten Serienpreis von 10,-Euro. Es gibt eine ganze Menge (wieder) zu entdecken. Der enorme Anspruch, den Eltern an sich haben, geht nach der Geburt des ersten Kindes Stück für Stück vor der Realität in die Knie. Nirgendwo sonst wird dieser Vorgang so treffend leicht und herrlich komisch beschrieben wie hier: Mama Babs hat das erste Mal Wehen, die erste Erfahrung mit der Geißel junger Eltern, dem allgegenwärtigen Babyfon, wie man den Kindersitz unter einer Stunde auf die Rückbank bekommt und die Frage aller Fragen: Schnuller ja oder ja?
