"A practical, no-nonsense kind of book for any current father or a soon to be dad...I wish that this book would have been out when I was a first time dad." --Dad of Divas Review blog "This book comes highly recommended." --The Rookie Dad "Hill's excellent advice...puts this work at the top of the heap of essential parenting books." --Publishers Weekly "I believe a society gradually moving toward full acknowledgement of fatherhood needs this book. Dads need to know what to expect just as moms do, but they also need to be addressed as dads." --A Blogger and a Father blog "Hill, a pediatrician and a father, has presented his amiable take on fatherhood, which has consistently offered a winning combination of humor and fact, in various segments on National Public Radio. This highly entertaining and informative book presents Hill at his best, but its wide range--from before birth to the toddler years--makes this volume for fathers an essential addition to such parenting books as What to Expect When You Are Expecting." --www.publishersweekly.com "Dr. Hill's book is the perfect combination of expert pediatric advice mixed with the humbling uncertainty every new parent feels--regardless of whether or not they have an M and a D after their name. Moms: Sneak this onto your husband's nightstand!" --Missy Lapine, author, The Sneaky Chef "Becoming a new father can be terrifying, but Dad to Dad will make the journey seem not only manageable but actually kind of fun. . . .
