Pop Culture: The Sane Man’s Guide to the Insane World of New Fatherhood by Christopher Healy (Penguin, May 2006)From the publisher: A smart, witty guide to the confusing, sometimes frustrating, and occasionally surreal jungle of fatherhood.
Once upon a time being a good dad meant doling out bowls of FrankenBerry to the kids on weekends while your wife slept until eight. Today it means juggling bilingual board books, Baby Björns, and chilled bottles of pre-pumped breast milk. Fortunately, new and prospective fathers have the equivalent of a Sherpa dad in Christopher Healy, who brings his experience –– and that of more than a hundred other dads –– to this clearheaded and exhilaratingly funny book. Healy goes beyond the basics and tackles the questions that really matter: Is it appropriate to play a couple games of Grand Theft Auto in front of an infant? Who decided that people under five will only listen to trilly folk music? Genuinely useful and truly entertaining, Pop Culture is indispensable. Pub date: May 2, 2006 ISBN: 0-14-303716-1
