A practical how to guide for any father, grandfather or dad-to-be! From holding babies and getting rid of monsters under the bed to building the perfect sandcastle and explaining the birds and the bees . They will learn so much! --Yours magazine, July 2012

This is a comprehensive resource for any father or dad-to-be, and takes them through everything they will ever need to know about dealing with children. With advice and instruction on how to hold a new-born baby, introducing them to solid foods, potty training and changing nappies, the Birds and The Bees Talk, household chores, playing with kids, keeping them occupied on long journeys, what to carry in your Daddy rucksack , read to them, get rid of monsters under the bed, to teaching them to ride a bike, dealing with their school teachers, teaching them to drive, and even meeting your child s in-laws, this is full of practical advice, guidance, tips, hints, techniques, for fathers, and a must-have for any Dad! Written in an informal, informative fashion, Stuff Every Dad Should Know is sure to engage and interest dads and dads-to-be (and mums and mums-to-be), and any book that shows you how to child-proof your house, build the perfect sandcastle, has five no-fail jokes, and helps you deal with kids who won t eat must be worth having! ...emmainbromley dot com, May, 2012.....seems to be optimized for someone who has a short attention span or can only read in brief spurts (like a new dad in between diaper changes). The content is broken into sections that generally occupy up to two small pages and require on the order of a minute to read. The book is organized into four parts: baby stuff, little kid stuff, big kid stuff, and teen stuff and beyond. I imagine that this book is targeted at new dads at the baby stage, and I would expect that they would find some of the topics near the end hard to imagine like how to handle your child s first car accident or ticket. I can just imagine a bleary eyed dad reading this book while burping his little infant on the couch at 3am and coming to the section on how to meet your child s in-laws and then thinking, wow... this dad thing continues for a long time... followed by, what have I gotten myself into? So, although three quarters of the book might not be immediately relevant to a new dad, it does give a nice perspective as to what to expect down the road. I enjoyed reading the book. Many of the points I already knew or learned from trial and error (or from being told by MaryAnne), but overall it was pretty entertaining. It has some good tips on topics like how to take care of fears of monsters at bedtime. It says to turn scary monsters into friends with a good story. The illustration shows a dad next to his daughter s bed with a speech bubble showing two goofy looking monsters. The daughter looks reassured and the dad is giving her the thumbs up --mamasmiles dot com, May 2012
