An advice book that actually works—and that dads will actually read!

Hey, dad.
(Or soon-to-be dad.)
We get it.
You’re busy. You’re distracted. You’re under pressures people don’t always understand.
But you do love your kids more than anything.
You want them to have really good lives.
You’re doing the best you can.
But you know what, you can do better.
Yeah, you can.
These pages can help. Even if just two, or three, or five of these ideas work for you, you’ll be a better dad. Maybe a whole lot better.
So turn the page, dad.
You’re in.
You just made a big commitment.
1 hour.

Kirkus

Booklist
“In a breezy voice that eschews hectoring for cajoling,” James Patterson’s The #1 Dad Book “is not only a labor of love, but a love letter to fellow fathers.”
USA Today
“A beautiful reminder that the most important stories often start at home.”
Viola Davis
“James Patterson is a literary legend.…If it’s part of the human experience, he’s written it.…The #1 Dad Book…is really special…a fast, funny, and heartfelt read packed with the real-life lessons James Patterson wishes he’d known sooner…lessons you’ll want to share with all the soon-to-be dads, fathers, grandfathers, and father figures in your life.”
