Great Gift for New Dad
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I bought this for my son-in-law after my grandson was born & he thought it was great. Now it is a standard gift for new Dads. I highly recommend it to friends and new grandparents as a gift idea.
And I thought that I knew a lot of stuff!

True to its title, this book delivers in short, simple doses some very good and important things every dad, or for that matter person, should know. It's worth the price if you just learn to identify the poisonous snakes in North America at a glance. I never liked snakes much, and this put me much more at ease with the idea of running across one in the woods. Over 30% of the information was news to me, and I thought I knew a lot of stuff. If you buy this book and already know all of these wonderful little tidbits you should write a book of your own...and I'll buy it. Worth every penny and a great gift for any/every dad you know.
THE PERFECT FATHER'S DAY GIFT
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This is just a wonderful gift book of "secrets" for any dad to share with his daughter or son. It tells how to photograph lightning, how to skip a rock, how to find the North Star, tons of neat stuff (101 secrets in all, obviously). I heard Walter Browder (the author) on the radio, and it was obvious that he really loves kids. What a wonderful gift for any new dad. My husband has read some of these secrets (like "How to Find an Owl" and "How to Get a Cat Out of a Tree (without calling the fire department) to our kids as bedtime stories! (Each secret has a kind of "punch line" that's cute and sometimes funny, as well as wise). I've bought three books for new dads already and intend to buy more for Father's Day. Love it.
To add to my review!

#95 of what a good dad knows talks about teaching your child how to avoid "rabbit ears" in a clutch situation. What is that? Teaching them much like Tiger Wood's dad taught him - to concentrate on the task at hand - shooting the free throw, the putt or whatever it might be and not having rabbit ears that can hear all of the criticisim or hollering coming from others in the crowd - what a great lesson to teach our children. pint 55 - teach your child how to see the big picture - show her/him how big the universe is and maybe the problems won't seem so overwhemling!Great stuff - by the way do YOU know the right properties to buy in Monopoly? I do -
To share with children and grandchildren - and PRACTICE!

What an unusual book - fun things I didn't know how to do and some things I remember my step-dad teaching me and things we taught our children! Dad's Facts at the end of each chapter is fun and interesting. I LEARNED SOME THINGS and my nine year old grandson thinks this is a "neat book" - a very special book you can spend time sharing with your children and/or grandchildren and learning fun things and important things - TOGETHER!Every household should have one! Mom's learn from it too! This book is written, obviously, with love and joy for children!
