Great advice from a PhD who's done his homework

Though it reads a bit like a college text, Gift of Fatherhood contains solid, well-organized, how-to details on becoming a better father. Hass's timeless exhortations are fine-tuned for Dad's looking to hone their skills, but Moms will certainly gain insight, too. This densely-packed book covers just about everything, including obstacles, learning to love your kids more, enjoy parenting, finding time, why your wife matters, etc. Hass dovetails nicely with Faber/Mazlish (How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk) and Cline/Fay (Parenting With Love and Logic). The book's final two chapters deal with divorce and stepdads. One small nit: this Simon & Shuster book would be easier to read with whiter paper or a larger font.
