Do I Look Like a Daddy to You?

Any book that has a chapter that's a Simpsons reference (in this case, the brochure Homer and Marge are given when they first learn they're going to be parents) is automatically going to win points with me.

Skinner approaches the question of fatherhood with a down-to-earth humour that really helps to disarm concerns the father-to-be may have, while at the same time being serious and grounded about those concerns.

The only downside to the book is that a lot of his advice tends to boil down to Just Be A Man About It, which can get a little repetitive. As a result I'd say it shouldn't be the only fatherhood book you read if you're becoming a parent, but it should definitely be one of them.
