Brief Synopsis:

Lizard stir fry and fungus for supper. Perfectly normal when your father, a good but unusual parent, is a hairy monster. Ordinary activities like clothes shopping and parent conferences become weird and cool. How can people fear a dad who reminds his son to remember his manners?

Long Synopsis:

Bradley Fentriss lives with his dad. He loves his dad. He admires his dad. Bradley's dad, however, is not like the other dads in the neighborhood. He is very large. He is very hairy. He has sharp, pointy teeth. When he gets excited, his chest swells up so much that his shirt buttons pop open. But he is a good father. Whether fixing a hole in the ceiling,, attending Parent-Teacher Night, or planning an extremely unseasonal picnic, Mr. Fentriss is a truly devoted dad. And then some. Here's a story about the everyday life of a not-quite-everyday family. Dad puts a scare in strangers, but not for long. Not after they hear him say fatherly things like "It's important to know your limits," and "A healthy breakfast is the start of a healthy day." And "Watch out for other sledders! No crashing!" They have monstrously good fun-- and so will you.
