Book Description

Publication Date: June 1993

New Hardcover with dust jacket

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Burkett, a writer for the Arizona New Times --as well as a father of two--has culled his "Dad Zone" columns here and added new anecdotes, poems, essays and other tidbits. The result is a wacky yet touching look at fatherhood in the 1990s. Rarely more than two or three pages long, the entries discuss birth ("And Baby Makes Four"), death ("Jesus Swiped My Goldfish") and a lot in between, such as saving money on Halloween costumes (" . . . fun, zip-budget costume ideas include hobo, match girl, ghetto child, nudist, cardboard box robot") and cooking for kids (he calls this "Mean Cuisine"), which covers delectables such as N'Mores and Official Toxic Avenger Squeeze Tube Dessert Sticks. The book would make a gift for veteran or rookie parents in need of laughter or just a bit of inspiration.
