Pediatrician and bestselling author Meg Meeker has a message: stop undervaluing fatherhood.

I learned nothing about parenting from this book. It is packed with arguments without evidence and parrots unhealthy stereotypes regarding men. Big yawn on this one. I feel sorry for families who have taken the author's advice. Also, the reader says words that end in the letter 'd' as if they end in the letter 't'. This is especially distracting since the book is about dads.
