The bar for Father's Day is low and widely known: this is not socks.

The storybook puts Dad and his child into the pages together and then says the things that usually stay unsaid between those two people. Whether that is welcome depends on the pair, but the book takes the position that it is worth risking. Both of them are in it, which is what stops it reading as a lecture delivered from one side. Softcover.

Read once on the day, kept for good, which is a fair prediction of how it goes. The reading is quick and slightly awkward; the keeping lasts. Most Father's Day gifts have those two proportions the other way round. Hand it over early, before the day fills up.
