\ Publishers WeeklyCome on, Dad!: 75 Things for Fathers and Sons to Do Together by Ed Avis, illus. by Genevieve Despr s, offers everyday ways to nurture the parent-child bond, such as exploring nature at night and building a fort from fallen leaves. (May) Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information.\ \ \ \ \ Children's Literature\ - Peg Glisson\ Here are 75 activities for dads and sons (although there really is no reason why moms and daughters couldn't be included, too). Activities run the gamut, including nature and science, family history, explorations, games and crafts, reading, writing, math and cooking. Brief, basic instructions are given; suggestions for ways to make the activity simpler or more involved are often provided, too. Sidebar lists of materials needed often accompany the text. This book was originally published in 1991, and it was revised in 2002, so most of the activities are timeless. However, a few of the details (e.g., using a tape recorder instead of an MP3 player, taking photo film to be developed into negatives and prints) are dated. Clothing and haircuts in some of the photos also show their age. Most activities do not require much advance preparation, and many are fairly simple to complete. The activities are not grouped by type, age-appropriateness, or location. While not a particularly attractive book, this does have lots of good activities to engage youngsters, individually or in party groups. Reviewer: Peg Glisson\ \
