Napkins: Lunch Bag Notes from Dad

I worked at Hats In the Belfry (Courney's hat shop in downtown Annapolis) with Cara on breaks and vacations during my 4 years at college. It continues to be a highlight in my working life. When I heard about the book, I went out immediately and bought a copy! It's a quick read, but not with out depth. For me it brought back many good memories about my association with the family, but it will be a mood lifter for anyone. It made ME think about lots of parenting issues, as I think it will for most. Buy this book and give yourself a lift!

If you, as most parents do, have trouble sometimes communicating with your children, if sometimes what you say seems to come out as a lecture, "Napkins:Lunch Bag Notes from Dad" is a must read book. Garton has a great sense of humor and his unique way of getting through to his teenage daughters (writing notes on lunch bag napkins) inspired me to try the same. Guess what? It works! Great book!

This book is great. Garton is funny, and a little crazy (in a good way), and his love for his daughters is evident on every page. No lectures, just creative communication. Everyone, not just parents, will identify with this book. It's truly inspiring.
