Father Knows Less

One Dad's Quest to Answer His Son's Most Baffling Questions

Description

Kids ask the darndest questions-and the answers make for a "funny and fascinating"(Publishers Weekly) book.Wendell Jamieson's son, Dean, has always had a penchant for asking odd questions. "Dad, what would hurt more-getting run over by a car, or getting stung by a jellyfish?" "Dad, why do policemen like donuts?" "Dad, does Mona Lisa wear shoes?" Because Dad is a newspaperman and city editor for The New York Times, he decided to seek out the real answers to Dean's questions from top experts-movie directors and ship captains, brain surgeons and stabbing victims, a Buddhist monk and a bra fitter, and even Yoko Ono. Their father-son journey for answers to the tough-and weird-questions of life is a sometimes surprising, often hilarious, and always fascinating celebration of the value and beauty of childlike curiosity.Watch a QuickTime trailer for this book.
