Dads Toddlers & Chicken Dance

A politically incorrect but indispensable compendium of everything Dad needs to know about raising a toddler, including: babysitting, nutrition, common illnesses, money, lawnmowers, television, bedtime, speech development, tantrums, spanking, toilet-training, birthday parties, parental sanity, choosing a preschool, vasectomies, the chicken dance, and lots of stuff about sex!

Peter Downey teaches high-school English in Australia.
