Format: Book

Target Audience: Fathers

Description: This book describes such things as how to whistle with a blade of grass, how to find the North Star, how to shoot a free throw, and how to pick up a bug without using your hands.

• The book is filled with activities and secrets any father may want to know.  The activities and secrets will help a father bond with a child.
• It is a collection of tricks/skills to teach children like reading a compass, skipping a rock, carving a whistle, and so on.  There is no parenting information whatsoever, but if it inspires a father to be involved with a child then it's worth having.  Safety is emphasized (except for how to pull a wheelie on a bike, which I wouldn't try.)
• The book is not a research book but an activity book for fathers in general.  It has ideas for things to do with children that are fun to do.
• Teaching children some of these activities may be stress-relieving for some dads.
• The reading is easy and fun.  You can read a little or a lot, depending on time and interest.
