Such a cute, sweet book for dad's with daughters, from dad's with daughters. Just a little book with short one liners, or paragraphs, broken into sections from things to do with and teach your new baby girl, to advice for when she goes to school, the teenage years, up to when your precious grown-up girl goes off to college. It will make you laugh, nod your head in agreement, cry, and so many other emotions that great books can make you feel. This book is priceless, as are, "From Mother to Daughter", "From Father to Son", and "From Mother to Son. If you want to be a parent, are a parent, or are a grandparent, this book, along with the ones mentioned above, are all great books to give as gifts to new parents, friends with children, etc. But be sure to pick one up for yourself, I bought myself all four, and I love them!!
This is not a chapter book! I was disappointed because no where in the description does it say the book only has a quote on each page. If you are only looking for quotes for inspiration this is the book for you.
The quotes are solid and in alignment with my values. I was expected it to be an actual instructional book, but it's a small fit-in-your-palm book that has a short thought on each page. I read it out loud to my wife as we're getting ready for bed, and I can see myself re-reading it to remind myself of things that I should do with my baby girl during her life.
I bought this book as a gift to my son for his first Father's Day (his daughter is 9 months old). He works full time and is in grad school at night so he has little time to read for pleasure. Before I gave it to him, I read it - twice. Takes about half an hour to read but offers some important advice with humor and no wasted words. There are several sections, including one about young girls, girls as teens, girls and boys, girls and cars, older girls (these aren't precisely the titles and is not a complete list; this is from memory since I no longer have the book). I suggested to my son that he reread the first section on young girls once a month because it's such a good reminder of what's important in today's busy lifestyle.
Sweet illustrations complete this down-to-earth "advice" to fathers of girls. (The cover sets the tone.) Not at all preachy, just straightforward: "Put on her galoshes and let her jump in that puddle!" "Don't allow tantrums--not now, not when she's fifteen." I gave one to my son on the recent birth of his first child, a girl, and he commented "very sweet and thoughtful." When I told my niece, the mother of a nineteen-month-old girl, she asked me to get one for her husband for Christmas. It's just the right size to hold in a manly hand, too!
Purchased Father to Daughter, Revised Edition: Life Lessons on Raising a Girl for my son who is just had his first baby girl. Read the excerpts and thought this would be a good book for him to gain an understanding of my granddaughter and to help with his interactions with her. Received the book as promised.
Got this for my husband for his Christmas stocking. We have a 19 month old girl, and I thought this would be perfect "advice" for him on raising a little darling. He loves the book, and reads it to her, and melts every time.All very true, and obvious things about having a little girl-but very touching and insightful.Very sweet sentiments from "father to daughter".Perfect for any man who has, or is going to have a daughter!
This is the companion book to "Father to Daughter". These books are amazing. They are kinda like rule books that should be followed. Every new parent should read this. I have gifted this book many many times and I always get glowing feedback.
