Inspired by what they perceived as limited reading-focused television programming for kids, moms JILL LUEDTKE, TRACEY HORNBUCKLE AND KIM ANTON decided to do something about it.

Mr. Dad DVD Toolbox for Dads Final Round Up: Because Dads Like Tools, Especially Good Ones

We don’t expect women to know everything to expect when it comes to having babies, so why should men be any different? The only problem is there just aren’t enough dad-specific tools out there, or at least ones that dads would actually take a look at before using as a coaster.
