How hard is it to teach a boy how to be a man? We have the answer in this hilarious sendup of contemporary parenthood: practically impossible. No matter how hard he tries, the father in this book can't seem to get it right. He's got plenty of ideas and lots of enthusiasm, but his lessons never seem to take. Frustrated, he tries-and fails-even harder. Meanwhile, his son is learning all kinds of valuable lessons, just not the kind his father is trying to teach him.
