Just Dads: Nerves of Steel, Wills of Iron, Hearts of Pudding
Product Description
While mothers’ devotion might get more attention, many fathers also do their fair share of raising young. “Just Dads” is a unique giftbook that combines engaging and interesting male animal parenting photographs with insightful fatherhood quotations. Along with the quotations are intriguing facts about the paternal care many species provide, including the emperor penguin father who carries the egg on his feet for three months without eating, the male marine catfish that opens his mouth when danger threatens so the youngsters can dash in to safety, and the male titis monkeys that “babysit” the young in the forest canopy, freeing up the females to travel ahead and eat their fill. The delightful images combined with the insightful quotations bring an engaging new perspective to the role of fatherhood, both animal and humankind.

Not too precious or icky-sweet, this book will nevertheless make you melt. The pictures say it all. The quotes are nice to go back later and read, because you’ll want to look at all the pictures right away.
