''A father today has disposable diapers and plastic bottles. The only thing left to invent is a plastic toy that will hit the floor and then bounce back into the crib.'' "Always end the name of your child with a vowel, so that when you yell, the name will carry.'' ''No matter how calmly you try to referee, parenting will eventually produce bizarre behavior, and I'm not talking about the kids." Comedian Bill Cosby dispenses his trademark wit and wisdom in this fun little primer on bringing up kids.

This review is from: Bill Cosby on Fatherhood (Charming Petites) (Hardcover)

"Bill Cosby on Fatherhood" makes a great gift to Dad, whether it be for Father's Day, Christmas (makes a perfect stocking stuffer), Birthday, or any special occasion! Bill Cosby is great in describing Fatherhood memories, of when he was a child, and when he was a father. If you're in the mood for a chuckle, whether you're a Father or not, this is a great little book. I recommend.

From witty to thought-provoking, this little book has all the quotes daddies need to make them feel good about their new role :) Would make a great stocking stuffer or an addition to a Father's Day gift. Excellent for new dads.

Trite. I thought he was talking about his children as charming petites, not the nugget size of this cutesy nothing. Waste of money.
