Book Description

Publication Date: September 15, 2003

With intellectual wit and a keen eye for the absurd, Todd Pinsky chronicles his adventures as a stay-home father of an infant daughter, and serves up a refreshing and wickedly funny alternative to Mr. Mom stereotypes of bumbling, clueless dads. Homedaddy free-associates between the nursery and the outside world to create a satirical and poignant commentary on modern American life.

Mr. Pinsky has unique perspective on parenthood and his razor sharp prose will keep you laughing for hours. I nearly wet my pants at one point. If you're a parent and up for a good laugh - read this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Homedaddy is Great for Aunts and Uncles, November 12, 2003

Jenny Heth (California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Homedaddy: Little White Lies and Other Tales from the Crib (Paperback)

Although I am a female with no kids, I am an Aunt who has occassional responsibility for my nieces and nephews. Homedaddy made me feel alot more confident about how can I interact with the kids and gave me greater respect (and sympathy) for my brothers and sisters. I reccommend this book to any Aunt or Uncle who is trying to figure it all out.
