The #1 Dad Book: be the best dad you can be--in 1 hour! by James Patterson.

The prolific Patterson "talked to lots of experts, and lots of dads, and lots of experts who are also dads” to compile this pithy, low-stress guide to being a better father, written in brief chapters as befits the amount of time a new father probably has to read a book on fatherhood (i.e., not much). Patterson suggests hugging a lot and embracing the messiness of dirty diapers and slimy shirts; reading to your kids until they are old enough to read to you (and here he includes some book suggestions); being consistent and listening; finding dad friends and fostering intergenerational relationships; and showing affection to your partner in front of your kids (“Saying 'I love you' is not a sign of weakness”). Funny and wise (“You want meanness in your house even less than you want rodents. Unless you just got suckered into having a pet hamster. Rookie mistake.”), this book will appeal to overwhelmed new dads looking for some reinforcement that they're doing okay. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: Even Patterson's nonfiction books are highly sought after, and his dad-readers will appreciate important advice from a trusted source.
