An all-encompassing guide to entertaining, amazing, and possibly even educating children, Be the Coolest Dad on the Block provides the perfect excuse to stand on a balloon, play with grated cheese in the microwave, and unroll an entire roll of toilet paper, all in the name of spending time with your kids. Written by a comedy writer and a cartoonist with thirty years' combined experience as dads, Be the Coolest Dad on the Block is a cornucopia of practical parenting advice, like how to skip stones or teach a kid to ride a bike. It has answers to the pesky questions kids love, such as "Why is the sky blue?" or "Where do babies come from?" And it can help dads entertain large groups of kids with slapstick gags ("burp the alphabet") or cool tricks ("the hole in the head"). Be the Coolest Dad on the Block also contains spooky myths for telling around the campfire and loads of quizzes and jokes for rainy days or endless car rides. With a range of ideas to suit all situations and sensibilities, Be the Coolest Dad on the Block gives any dad the right stuff to be the wackiest and smartest guy in the room.

Works for anybody, not just dads:

The book will teach you very quickly how to: perform a variety a simple magic tricks; organize impromptu games requiring little to no materials; build rope swings; identify common trees and plants; answer many of the 'why and how' science and nature questions children ask; bedevil your child with riddles and jokes; occupy your children on car... more info
Some see as "fun", others see as "essentail":
Okay, it's not classic literature, but it fills a void which, for some, could be just as important. This group of "must know topics, skills and abilities" for Dads, could certainly be valuable knowledge for any parent, regardless of gender. As for the value of contents, here's the proof of this kind of book: As mundane as they might appear to adults, the items included in this book are the very things many children will take with them into adulthood as "best memories". What could be better?
