The book is nice, but not very deep - it's like getting 100 father's day cards in one book.Worse, if you read it straight through (it took my wife and I about 15 minutes to read the entire book), you will notice that it starts repeating the same thoughts over again, in order to get to 100 (e.g., " A Son Needs A Dad .. who knows how to have fun ... [and then later] who can be playful and silly"). I wouldn't buy it again.If you're looking for pithy things to teach your children, I thought Life's Little Instruction Book had more interesting things to say.
