I bought this book for my Dad for Christmas, thinking it would be a fun gift: it looks very much like The Dangerous Book for Boys, which was definitely fun for 'boys' of all ages, and it says it's for the 'Dad that's best at everything' which implies it's for men who have been fathers for a while. It arrived quite late so I didn't have time to look through it, I just wrapped it up and gave it to him. Well it turns out that it is VERY much aimed at new and expectant fathers! Not really suitable for a grown-up child to give to a parent, unless they've decided to expand their family late in life!

I do like the cover, but I was disappointed in the contents. Perhaps I've been reading too many "dad guides" recently, but the advice in this book seemed by far the most generic, all over the place age-wise and often too common sense to be of much use. Moreover, the contents seem to enforce an ancient attitude that the mother is the primary caregiver and the dad is the "little helper" instead of an equal. Some chapters are simply bad, such as attempts at humour in a chapter called "How to avoid changing a nappy". The next chapter "How to change a nappy" attempts to give serious advice but lost me at "If your partner has "gone green" and decided to use the re-usable towelling nappies, brush up on your avoidance techniques or feign death" Seriously? Where does going green count as humour these days?
Format:Hardcover
My dad really enjoys this book as you can read it over and over again. It is a really good present for farthers day.
Listmania!
