I just happened to see this book sitting by the register at a bookstore, and I picked it up, not expecting to buy it. The very first comic I turned to was of a car driving down the highway, with two kids in the backseat, looking hopefully at the car they were passing. Mom and Dad were in the front driving, and the kids had a sign hanging out the back window that said (roughly paraphrased), "Please help. Our dad won't stop and ask for directions!"

This small book is stuffed full of comics in a similar vein. All of the comics are from the hilarious, slightly Far Side-esque but much less eccentric (but just as funny) Close to Home. The book is probably 98% comics and 2% quotations. Various quotations, also usually fun, about Dads and Children are sprinkled through the book.

It's just a cute, fun book. I haven't read any of the other Chicken Soup for the Soul books, so I can't compare it to that, but as a mini-treasury for "Close to Home," this book is well worth it.
