Keith Negley's playful and emotional art tells this story of a new father who is no longer the cool guy he once was. He looks back wistfully on his crazy times playing in a band, riding a motorcycle, and getting tattoos. Those days may be behind him, but his young son still thinks he's the coolest guy in the world.Keith Negley is an award-winning editorial illustrator with a penchant for emotionally driven illustration. He's been published in a wide range of major newspapers and national magazines, and is a frequent contributor to the New York Times and New Yorker. He lives in the mountains of Bellingham, Washington, surrounded by rain forests and giant spiders. This is his second book for Flying Eye, following Tough Guys Have Feelings Too!

Like the author's other book, Tough Guys Have Feelings Too," this book is light on text and rich in sweet but not saccharine illustrations. With a tattooed mom and dad, instruments around the house and "uncles" who drive motorcycles, this book is a nice way for my preschooler to explore male relationships and the fact that life existed before his birth.This is a good book for adult readers who are comfortable expanding beyond the written words on the page, asking questions, reflecting on their ideas, etc., or for little ones beginning to read themselves.
I was somewhat disappointed in this book. My husband is covered in tattoos and we both love a good story, however this book has a lack luster story line. The illustrations are awesome, i love the style but it was just a mediocre story. I really wanted to love it but just couldn't.
Great book for dads and their kids. Simple and awesome. Hope he does more book soon.Bought one for a buddy who is a soon to be dad and a professional hockey player, I added a little extra art in it with his jersey as wall art.
Great book but it was delivered with the cover backwards. It opens to the end of the book and the pages start at the back cover.
great book. love the graphics and bold colors. so many farmable pages I may have to order a second to make some wall art!
Cute illustrations & story. This was a good father's day gift.
Love this book! It's an instant classic for our family :)
