Product Description
As a former boy, a father immediately understands why his son builds a tower of blocks, calls it a boom crane, and then knocks it down. But why does his daughter build the same tower, call it an ice-cream cone, and then offer a taste? As Harry Harrison, author of the chunky little bestseller Father to Son, would suggest, fathers of daughters should simply enjoy that imaginative treat, and every other she's likely to dream up. Filled with short, sweet, inspirational words of wisdom, FATHER TO DAUGHTER is a book of guidance for Dads on loving, shaping-and learning to comprehend-their inscrutable little girls. Divided into stages from infancy on up, it offers a pithy lesson on every page. Helpful reassurance: "Tickle her, play with her, give her piggyback rides. She's not breakable." Advice on passing down skills: "Show her how to climb up a tree. Also, how to climb down." Your role: "Be home for dinner on time. This is very important." "Make sure she knows she can call you at any time and you will go get her. This is why the cell phone was invented." Guideposts, both material and spiritual: "Give her a piggybank when she's little. She's never too young to learn the value of saving." And, "Help her understand that there's more to life than wearing the right jeans." And finally: "Prepare for the day when you're not the most important man in her life."

This is a cute little book with a lot of fun ideas,it just lacks content in my opinion.I read the whole thing in about 30 minutes.It does have some nice ideas though.
 A sweet little book for Daddy August 26, 2008
Jennifer Hollister (Skippack, PA)
We gave this to Daddy for his birthday, and he thought is was very sweet. Mommies can benefit from reading the gentle advice as well.
A Great Gift Idea for a new dad (or an old one). December 2, 2007

I bought this book as an impulse purchase and read it quickly. I like the fact that each page has a simple idea in it. This book is concise and will warm the heart of a sentimental father and give him good advice as he raises his girl to be successful.
The author gleaned his wisdom by interviewing the fathers of successful women in many different areas of success.
I liked this book so much, I'm search for other books by the same author to read and / or give as gifts.
A fun little book for fathers-to-be January 2, 2007

I received this book in the mail recently and read it in about 20 minutes. It is about 300 or so short pieces of advice for fathers of girls in various stages of development. The quotes are variously witty, funny, instructive, and serious on the challenge men face in raising healthy girls to be self-assured young women. Two thumbs up.
 basic instructions November 14, 2006

I was disappointed with this book for several reasons. I bought this book because I have a one year old daughter and was searching for some insight on how to better bond with her as she ages. This book gave basic instructions that even a teenage parent would know, (if that makes any sense). The book is written on a middle school reading level and did not go into specifics about raising a daughter, it only gave very broad advice. I bought this book for only .46 cents and it was a waste of money. Since the book measures 6 inches by 6 inches I guess it will make a good paper weight ! Not recommended
