PAPADADDY'S BOOK FOR NEW FATHERS

David Aaron Baker narrates this charming book with the ease of a storyteller whose pacing may be leisurely but whose listeners hang on every word. He sounds to be the right age to represent the beloved North Carolina author, who is 68 and the father of four, ages 6 to 31. Edgerton’s latest book is mostly captivating stories—about pregnancy, birth, being a good husband during a child’s early years, and learning what a good dad does with young children. All written in buttery prose, these stories are a satisfying combination of Edgerton’s effortless humor, wry observations, and hard-earned wisdom about fatherhood. World-class storytelling and fresh-sounding advice will captivate almost any man who is about to become a father. T.W. © AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2013]
