Characterized by actionable and direct advice to fathers, the book takes on parenting from a father's point of view and encourages dads to use their natural talents to become a better parent. That advice is further bolstered by an additional 57 other dads who also give advice. All this advice is framed by the author's personal stories, which help the reader connect with the content and drives the advice home. This is a book that takes on day-to-day parenting, not just as a stay-at-home dad--working fathers could benefit from this book as much as at-home dads.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Carpenter...offers practical insights and plenty of comic asides in his buoyant debut...The savvy mix of lighthearted quips and straightforward guidance will be a lifesaver for at-home fathers.<br><b><i>--Publishers Weekly <p/></i></b>A helpful and enjoyable read for the growing population of dads at home, in a market saturated with books for moms.<b><i><br><b><i>--Library Journal</i></b><br></i></b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Living near Kansas City, <b>Shannon Carpenter</b> has been a stay-at-home dad since 2008.
