"This book is like a book, but informative and fun to read, like a non-book thing."
- Jim Gaffigan

“How to Dad might become essential reading for new parents like the classic What to Expect When You’re Expecting. The illustrated guides to changing diapers, bathing an infant and even the best ”funny faces” feel like something fathers would return to often that first year. There are helpful, easy-to-remember tips for teaching children early language and positive, active play. There are clear, step-by-step instructions for things that seem simple, like handling a poopsplosion or swaddling the baby. It helps eliminate the trial-and-error approach most parents have to suffer through until they get the technique just right."
