Customer Reviews

Great Pocket Book

At first, I thought this was a silly gift my husband received when I was pregnant with our son. I decided to take a look at it, and its such a beautiful book. It has very simple ideas and advice, but very important life lessons. The whole book is full of common sense ideas, but they are things that get overlooked and forgotten. Every dad should be forced to read this as part of soon-to-be-daddy training.

Excellent Guide for Practical Matters!

This is by far one of the best books for a new Dad or soon to be Dad! It is simple and practical, and reminds us that the simple things in life are the important things to a child! ***** (5 STARS!)

Nuggets of gold

This book touches the heart of the matter in a very succinct and unpretentious manner. Stuff any father can execute. The book reminded me, page by page, of what is really important in raising my sons. It is also very funny. Harrison's books are great!

Great for Father's Day!

I gave one to my husband for Father's Day. It has so many great pieces of advice in it. Some he showed me he [proudly] already does, and others he marked the pages to make sure he does them with our sons some time in the future. A great little "handbook."

Father to Son

It was a very cute book, the best father/son book out there, I would definetely reccomend it.
