Synopsis

A hilarious tribute to every dad from Chip Leighton, internet sensation and author of New York Times bestseller What Time is Noon. Dad fails are the stuff of legend: The time he pulled up to a drive-through and shouted his order into a trash can, or when he ate a handful of what he thought were nuts but were really discarded olive pits, or that day he used a glue stick instead of ChapStick. In Dad Can You Not?, Leighton brings some real doozies to light: dads discovering everything from how therapy works (who knew it involved talking about “all the personal stuff”?) to what washes up on the beach at low tide (surprise—the translucent lumps are jellyfish, not lost breast implants), and he includes lots of funny feedback and reactions from the kids (“you need to chill in the family group chat”) plus quizzes to test where everyone falls on the “Dadness” scale, along with lots of tongue-in-cheek charts, graphs, and other features. With the same charm that made What Time is Noon a New York Times bestseller, Dad Can You Not? delivers laugh-out-loud fun for the whole family.

I enjoyed this book. It was a little bit silly but entertaining over all. The funny thing is, many of these anecdotes reminded me of my mum which was hilarious because I've always noticed when people talk about silly dad and clever mum combo that their parents are, mine were always the other way rou......more
