STUFF : Every Man Should Know Tekijä: Brett Cohen
Well this is ok, I cannot imagine when I will use the skills I don't already know just because I don't put myself in those circumstances typically.
I absolutely love this book! Although, contrary to the title, one doesn't need to be a man to appreciate it. Still, it's the perfect gift for any husband, boyfriend, father, brother, son or friend. This is a great coffee table book with lots of conversation starters and helpful hints that every man (or his woman) can appreciate. I picked up this great little gem at a tag sale, and thought it would be perfect for my BF. The price sticker read "priceless, make an offer " and I stole it for 50 cents!!!… (lisätietoja)

This book lived up to its title and I'll recommend it personally when I get the chance. A few of the jokes offered are also in the Jokes Every Man Should Know but they are just as funny here.

From Lilac Wolf and Stuff
I was actually put off this book after having read Stuff Every Mom Should Know and it starts out with talking about saving for college. My first thought was "what's up with the double standard here?" Moms need to know about feedings and diapers and Dads just need to know about setting up a college fund?
But I read on and that was actually a short section that I missed the point of. It was saying, "yeah you have to do this, but that's not your only role." The book, like other Stuff books, is full of little bits of useful information. It's not a complete manual, but it's a great first book. It breaks everything down so becoming a father doesn't seem quite so terrifying. I think that is its goal.
Brett goes from the new baby all the way to marrying them off. There's "How to Hold your Baby," "Five Tips for Caring for Your Wife or Partner," "How to Make a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich", "How to Encourage Outside Play", "How to Assign Chores", "Five Great Activities that Allow you to Bond with Your Teen." There are many, many more to choose from.
This book I would buy with Stuff Every Mom should know as a gift for expecting parents. Now Quirk just needs to write one for the single parent. Both books assume the other parent will be there helping out with the work.
Let me leave you with this joke from "Five Great Jokes to Make Your Child Giggle."
Q: Why is Cinderella bad at sports?
A: Because she has a pumpkin for a coach and she runs away from the ball.… (lisätietoja)
