Stark Raving Dad

Hardback

Poems for the Frazzled Parent in All of Us

Dads are hard to buy for. Books are easy gifts. A book dad can laugh at with mom and the kids? Solid gold. Let's be honest: Most gifts for dad usually end up being a golf club or a tie. But what about the dad in desperate need of a laugh, who is looking for reassurance he's not the only father trying to figure it all out?

Stark Raving Dad is a collection of 75 hilarious poems -- no claims to be Walt Whitman here -- that capture the hapless anxiety of dads worldwide. Over the years, Sanderson Dean has turned all his fatherly angst into a collection of poetry, accompanied by crudely-drawn art created by his children. From surviving road trips to being puked on, Dean covers many of the rarely talked about adventures that make the journey of parenthood so exciting.
