Sneak a peek inside...
The book is absolutely excellent. All of the projects are creative, inexpensive, well-documented, accessible, and most importantly, they look like fun. Barnardo shines when he turns his glue gun and paints to the fantastic. The Great Adventures chapter describes how to make a wizard's wand, a feather quill and magical ink pot, and dragon-hunters' goggles. The projects simply ooze creativity, and look good enough to support hours of imaginary play. The book is peppered with wise advice for the single or divorced, non-custodial parent who wants to stay engaged in his children's lives without succumbing to the usual pitfalls of consumerist overindulgence or disconnection. The tips are universally applicable without seeming preachy, and provide lots of encouragement to get away from the computer and do something with your kids. In short, Dadcando is brilliant. It's the perfect general-purpose inspirational gift for anyone you know with kids.

Every year, my daughter and I struggle to find an original, interesting present for her dad on Fathers Day, but this year we have definitely cracked it. When 'DADCANDO' arrived, I started to flick through it and found that I couldn't put it down. Not only is it bright and colourful, it is packed with useful advice for Dads and loads of creative things to do with your kids from making a cool submarine to crafting a pretty paper butterfly. There are hours of endless fun to be had for dads and kids alike and I just know Charlotte and her dad are going to have lots of fun with it. I would really recommend this book and if I manage to finish reading it by Fathers Day, he may actually get it, if I don't decide to keep it for myself!!!
