Editorial Reviews

Product Description

In 36 stories, Hugh O'Neill blends the daily joy of Robert Fulgham with the humor of Dave Berry to create a "laugh-out-loud funny" (according to Child magazine) look at fatherhood.

Hugh O'Neill recounts such moments as discovering a turtle in his glove compartment, finding fruit in his shoes, encountering something gooey in his VCR, making a Halloween costume from a spaghetti strainer and the small rug from the hall, and handling the spiraling cost of a family vacation when his ten-year-old son learns that he, too, can charge things to the room.

This celebration of fatherhood offers new fathers a humorous and empathetic guide to rearing children and gives veteran dads a way of reminiscing about their own paternal adventures. Moms, dads, and grandparents will fondly identify with the dozens of stories delightfully told with a familiar ring.

5.0 out of 5 stars Touching for dads - it will grow on you too, December 27, 1998
By A Customer
This is one of the most enjoyable books I was given as a new Dad. It's brief and an easy read. The personal stories reinforce your enjoyment of the adventures, mishaps and discoveries of every day life with kids. I've grown to like this even more that my first child is now two, and am buying a copy for another new Dad.
