Papadaddys Book for New Fathers: Advice to Dads of All Ages: summary, description and annotation

Papa Edgerton suggests that on occasion a father might forego reading and just point to the pictures of dogs and cats in baby books, and also that he might place a blanket on the lawn, lie on his back with the whole family, and watch Sky Television. Edgertons humorous and helpful counsel will guide new parents on interacting with in-laws and coping with sleep deprivation, while also providing strategies for recovery after youve cursed in front of a mimicking baby.
If you dont feel apprehensive just before your first child is to arrive, you are abnormal, writes Edgerton. Yet by way of his experience, observation, and imagination, he provides caution and pure joy in equal measure.
Edgerton is so, so funny. He captures the rainbows, cheap thrills, and irritating potholes of parenting with splendid understatement.-Library Journal

Novelist Clyde Edgertons eldest child is thirtyand his youngest is six. His advice book Papadaddys Book for New Fathers is notably free of angst.
Los Angeles Times
This slim gem offers laugh-out-loud advice on every page. Edgerton is so, so funny. He captures the rainbows, cheap thrills, and irritating potholes of parenting with splendid understatement. Interspersed throughout, however, are solid statements that take the mystery out of parenting. For lovers of Bill Cosby and Erma Bombeck and for ticklish parents everywhere. Fantastic stuff.
Julianne J. Smith, Library Journal (starred review)
With a healthy dose of humor, Edgerton covers everything from head lice to in-laws (not that the two have anything in common).
Chantel ONeal, Garden & Gun
Not so much a guide as a brief, amusing tour through one mans lengthy sojourn in the World of Dad. In addition to practical adviceInstall the car seat ahead of timeEdgerton brings a sense of play that is often missing from the genre.
Bo Emerson, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Papadaddys Book for New Fathers is a slim volume, but chock full of the minutiae, the challenges, and the glories of child-rearing.
Adrienne Johnson Martin, Raleigh News & Observer
When I learned that Edgerton had just published a parenting guide, of all things, I expected to get a few laughs. What I could not have anticipated was that his Papadaddys Book for New Fathers would make me a wiser and more relaxed father, too.
Allan Fallow, AARP
Not just humor, Edgerton also talks about the ecstasy and worry that comes with seeing a baby for the first time. He writes about giving children limits and freedom. He writes about everything from dealing with lice to in-laws to the day of delivery.
Dawn Baumgartner Vaughan, Durham Herald-Sun
Refreshingly, a parenting advice book worth its salt.
Kirkus Reviews
Amid a slew of unsolicited advice-giving parenting books written by celebrities whose prose reads like a run-on drunken sound bite, Clyde Edgertons new book, Papadaddys Book for New Fathers, is a refreshing little tome of witty truths from a guy who has learned to keep his wits through three decades of parenting. This is not his first time at the rodeoEdgertons four kids range in age from six to thirty. It also helps that hes a member of the Fellowship of Southern Writers and knows a thing or two about crafting a sentence.
Kim Cross, Southern Living
A culmination of Edgertons three decades worth of wisdom for expectant and new dads.
Paige Crutcher, Publishers Weekly
A hoot. At an age when most guys are contemplating retirement and the easy chair, Edgerton decided to start a new family. Three kids. (The author earned a Distinguished Flying Cross in the skies over Vietnam as a young man; suffice it to say he not only possesses the right stuff, he has far more raw courage than I do.) As an older dad, Edgerton pauses to note the advantages for others of his ilk. Unlike younger dads, for example, he actually knows what those funny words mean in Grimms fairy tales, like scythe, hearth, anvil, and stockings. This one will be a perfect Fathers Day present, regardless of Dads age.

If you are an expectant father standing in a bookstore deciding whether or not to buy this book, quickly thumb through it and read whats in the boxes with a double asterisk and an exclamation point, **!, starting with the one about the car seat on .
Then if you decide not to buy the book, put it back, go buy your wife some flowers, take them to her, and ask her for a date. Later on, if you feel a little apprehensive about a new baby on the way, come back to the bookstore and buy this book. Also, you might consider the followingto do as often as you can:
Put toothpaste on your wifes toothbrush.
Rub her shoulders for a minute or two.
Make up the bed (assuming you dont).
Make her a cup of coffee or tea, and breakfast.
Rub her feet.
Mothers and mothers-to-be, the cash register is up toward the front, I think.
Back to you fathers and fathers-to-be. Its all mysteriously complicatedfatherhood. Im hoping to give you practical advice (in the main). When I was much younger, I was the father of one child, and now Im an older father of three small childrenand my first child is now an adult. I will speak from experience, observation, and my imagination.
I have a daughter, Catherine, aged thirty. I have a nine-year-old son, Nathaniel, a seven-year-old son, Ridley, and a six-year-old daughter, Truma. Im sixty-eight. The age gap between the younger kids and me is not something I think about much, because I feel, physically, about like I did when I was fortyor at least I think I do. I think I
