Every dad should have one!,

Ce commentaire est de: Amazing Dad (Mass Market Paperback)
I purchased five copies of the book--two for expecting fathers, one for my brother, one for my boyfriend's brother, and one for my boyfriend and me. The book is an excellent way to give dad's and mom's ideas for creative ways to entertain and interact with their kids.

If you want your kids to think you're cool.........,
By Kevin Callanan (Mount Dora, FL) - See all my reviews
Ce commentaire est de: Amazing Dad (Mass Market Paperback)
These days fathers need all the help they can get. My eight-year-old daughter used to think I was the coolest guy in the universe, but lately I've been getting hip-checked by the backstreet boys and n'sync. I've found myself competing for her attention; and I've been trying for the past few months to pull any fun rabbit out of the hat I can find (I got one of those "juggling for klutzes" kits and practiced in secret). A few weeks ago, a buddy of mine (also a dad- and familiar with my plight) told me he'd come across a really cool book called The Amazing Dad. I pounded the pavement till I found the lone remaining copy at a local bookstore; and I was blown away- on darn near every page there's a cool trick or fun activity that any spaz can do. Every one I've tried so far has left my children laughing, squealing, and begging for more. The diagramming makes everything an easy-to-duplicate, no-brainer. This book has become my "FUN BIBLE"- I keep it hidden so as not to reveal the source of my new-found coolness. Each time the kids ask me "Where'd you learn that?", I just give them a shrug and play it off like "Oh, I've got a million of 'em- you ain't seen nothin yet"- which means they better come out with volume two before I run out of rabbits. Seriously- a dynamite book.... big thanks to Preuss and Livera for making me a cool dad again. Maybe they can teach me to sing and dance.....

Quality Time Made Easy,
By W. Ryan "Wendy, a teacher" (Orlando, FL USA) - See all my reviews
Ce commentaire est de: Amazing Dad (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is a handy instruction book about how to liven up the time you spend with your kids. It could have been titled 'The Amazing Parent' since the activities described within are easy for a dad, a mom, a grandparent, even a babysitter or a teacher to perform and enjoy with kids. If you are always in a rush and know you need to spend more time having fun with your kids, this is the manual for you. Are you a single parent who wants to make the most out of your weekends with the kids? It is great for kids of all ages, but seems best for those under 12. It has great anecdotes throughout for dad inspiration. You don't need to read it cover to cover to gain some kind of message about parenting. Instead, open to any page and have fun instantly. I dare you!
