About this title

Synopsis

NOW OUT IN A REVISED SECOND EDITION FOR PAPERBACK AND KINDLE
(Hardcover is the original, first edition)

Man vs. Child is a funny, fresh take on the parenting guide, written from the dad's perspective. It's about the absurdity of being a dad today: from your blissful pre-baby days through when your kid is off at school, probably complaining about you. It's a companion to help you through the hard times, like when you need something to read on the toilet and your phone is dead.

NAMED ONE OF AMAZON'S BEST HUMOR BOOKS OF 2017

Balancing relatable humor with heartfelt advice, Man vs. Child will appeal to any dad looking for both laughs and real guidance from a man who has had--and survived--these experiences himself. A perfect Father's Day gift or present for a first-time dad!
