A Man Called Daddy

by Hugh O'Neill

In 36 stories, Hugh O'Neill blends the daily joy of Robert Fulgham with the humor of Dave Berry to create a "laugh-out-loud funny" (according to Child magazine) look at fatherhood. Hugh O'Neill recounts such moments as discovering a turtle in his glove compartment, finding fruit in his shoes, encountering something gooey in his VCR, making a Halloween costume from a spaghetti strainer and the small rug from the hall, and handling the spiraling cost of a family vacation when his ten-year-old son learns that he, too, can charge things to the room. This celebration of fatherhood offers new fathers a humorous and empathetic guide to rearing children and gives veteran dads a way of reminiscing about their own paternal adventures. Moms, dads, and grandparents will fondly identify with the dozens of stories delightfully told with a familiar ring.
