5.0 out of 5 stars A Priceless Gift For Fathers, June 14, 2000

If you are looking for a way to "tickle daddys heart", I highly recomend this book to help you do the job! In a small amount of real quality time with your child(ren) this book allows you to explore the most facinating man that they know. From before they were born, all the way to the day you finish it, it tells the story of daddy in their eyes, Just think how much that will change in 5 or 10 years! ( Having this type of early age documentation is almost as much fun as those naked baby pictures you know you have tucked away ! ) It not only will bring a father extreme joy, a good laugh, and something to really think about, But it will also do the same for the child "author" that creates this priceless gift for fathers.

This is a nice small, keepsake book. I got it for my son/granddaughter. My 'issue' with the book is that my son died last year. I was hoping to record her daddy's memories but MUCH of the book requires "Daddy's input"...finger print, older child's thoughts & "togetherness".... So it is not suitable for a deceased or absent fathers.
