The perennial #1 nationwide bestseller-and now, a hit animated series on Nick at Nite.
From Bill Cosby, America's favorite TV dad, comes the ideal gift for Father's Day...
Fatherhood is...
- Pretending the present you love most is soap-on-a-rope
- Helping your children learn English as a foreign language
- Knowing that "Everything's okay, Dad" means "I haven't killed anyone"
- ...and more priceless advice and hilarious wisdom.
In this bestseller, the star of the top-rated TV series regales and comforts parents with refreshing, marvelously ludicrous tales about his life as the father of five. PW praised the appraoch, stating that ``although Cosby mostly restates material that appears in many other books about family life, past and present, his is a winner.'' (May)
