Pocket Dad...A Must Have for anyone
The Pocket Dad Book is an amazing little book! It contains so much valuable & useful information that your Dad may or may not have given you, but to be on the safe side give one to your young person for their future reference in case there's something their Dad may have missed covering in these hectic times. Even as a grandmother, I've found myself referring to the Pocket Dad many times.
