How to Talk to Dads [Hardcover]

Alec Greven (Author), Kei Acedera (Illustrator)

Book Description

Age Level: 1 and up | Grade Level: 4 and up

Never underestimate the power of the father!

You may think you know all the tricks, but ten-year-old Alec Greven knows that when it comes to dads, you have to be on your toes. Some dads are strict, and some are easygoing, but they all have a good side and a bad side. What you get totally depends on Dad's mood and your attitude. So no matter how old you are or how tight you are with the big guy, trust Alec to help you get down to the bottom of what makes your dad tick.

Tips:

There is an 80 percent chance your dad will say yes when your mom says no.

Video games calm Dad down and put him in a better mood.

If you think Dad is going to let you run wild, you are wrong!

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

The 10-year-old author of How to Talk to Girls and, most recently, How to Talk to Moms, now offers insight on fathers. Chapters include The Two Sides of Dad (a good side and a bad side—It totally depends on his mood and your attitude); What Dads Like (honest, helpful, good kids); and The Power of the Father (If you are playing chess, Dad won't go easy on you). While the dad characteristics aren't universal, with Acedera's understated line art and an attractive design, this is a tailor-made gift. All ages. (May)

We bought the book "How to Talk to Girls" for my 6 year old son and he absolutely loved it! Which is why I thought this would be a fun book to buy. My kids are now 9,8, and 3 and we found that this was a fun and enjoyable "family" book.

See synopsis above.

While not as popular as the author's HOW TO TALK TO GIRLS (in my elementary school library) this book is still requested and checked out quite often. Recommended for students in grade 3 and up.
