Just Dads: Nerves of Steel, Wills of Iron, Hearts of Pudding
While mothers' devotion might get more attention, many fathers also do their fair share of raising young. Just Dads is a unique gift book that combines engaging and interesting male animal parenting photographs with insightful fatherhood quotations. Along with the quotations are intriguing facts about the paternal care many species provide, including the emperor penguin father who carries the egg on his feet for three months without eating, the male stickleback fish that opens his mouth when danger threatens so the youngsters can dash in to safety, and the male titis monkeys that babysit the young in the forest canopy, freeing up the females to travel ahead and eat their fill. The delightful images combined with the insightful quotations bring an engaging new perspective to the role of fatherhood, both animal and humankind.

Not too precious or icky-sweet, this book will nevertheless make you melt. The pictures say it all. The quotes are nice to go back later and read, because you'll want to look at all the pictures right away.
Each quote is paired with a beautiful photograph

Wonderfully compiled by Bonnie Louise Keller (writer, animal lover, daughter of two professional photographers, wife, and mother of two now grown children), Just Dads: Nerves Of Steel, Wills Of Iron, Hearts Of Pudding is a treasure of quotes that capture the essence of fatherhood. Each quote is paired with a beautiful photograph of animal fathers in the wild looking after their young, and a caption of the duties that animal father assumes in the care, feeding, and protection of its little one. A superb giftbook for Father's Day, Just Dads makes for heartwarming, highly recommended browsing. Also very highly recommended is the superb companion book, "Just Moms."
