A Man Called Daddy

In 36 stories, Hugh O'Neill blends the daily joy of Robert Fulgham with the humor of Dave Berry to create a "laugh-out-loud funny" (according to Child magazine) look at fatherhood.

Hugh O'Neill recounts such moments as discovering a turtle in his glove compartment, finding fruit in his shoes, encountering something gooey in his VCR, making a Halloween costume from a spaghetti strainer and the small rug from the hall, and handling the spiraling cost of a family vacation when his ten-year-old son learns that he, too, can charge things to the room.

This celebration of fatherhood offers new fathers a humorous and empathetic guide to rearing children and gives veteran dads a way of reminiscing about their own paternal adventures. Moms, dads, and grandparents will fondly identify with the dozens of stories delightfully told with a familiar ring.

Born and raised in New York City, Hugh O'Neill was an editor and publisher with Doubleday and Random House and has written for magazines such as GQ, McCalls, Reader's Digest, and Prevention. His previous books include Here's Looking at You, Kids and Golffirmations. Now the editor-at-large of Men's Health magazine, Hugh lives in Princeton, NJ with his wife, Jody, and son and daughter.
