A warm and witty work of humorous nonfiction, How to Be a Father draws on Frank Gilbreth Jr.'s own extraordinary upbringing as one of twelve children in the legendary Gilbreth household to offer a tongue-in-cheek guide to fatherhood. With the same affectionate humor that made Cheaper by the Dozen a beloved classic, Gilbreth chronicles the comic trials, unexpected wisdom, and endearing chaos that define the experience of raising a family. The narrative presents fatherly advice through a lens of self-deprecating wit, illustrating that the best parenting lessons are often learned through spectacular trial and error. Readers will find themselves laughing in recognition as Gilbreth details the gap between fatherly ideals and the wonderfully messy reality of family life. It is a charming and lighthearted read that celebrates the imperfect, irreplaceable art of being a dad.
