Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Football, toy trains, Erector sets . . . most fathers can relate to having a son. But what's a dad to do when he's invited for imaginary tea? Robert Wolgemuth's She Calls Me Daddy relates all the wonderful times that are waiting to be had for fathers with some special little ladies-their daughters. Focusing on seven things every man should know about raising a girl, it concentrates on specific areas of growth to reveal what a father can do to ensure she becomes the woman God wants her to be.

The very first book I ever purchased after my very first daughter was born. Wonderfully written. I have since purchased a copy for every guy in my family with a daughter.

First let me say that I really intended to give 4.5 stars. It's an excellent book and I'm a better dad for having read it. It's a fast read (I read it in a day) and holds the attention of even dads who don't normally read "self-help" type books. Wolgemuth (author) is a man writing to men so it's not filled with warm fuzzy platitudes often seen in these types of books. (Men, you know what I mean!) He's one of us!
Of particular help is the point summary at the end of each chapter. This enables one to refer back to a given chapter and get the gist of the matter without having to re-read the entire book. It's an excellent memory-jogger and I wish every book of this genre had this. Great idea! It's almost like a checklist.
At times, it seems to delve into the common sense stuff a little too long (that's where he lost the half star) but most of it is excellent. Even when Wolgemuth is belaboring a point obvious to most dads of daughters, he still offers some kind of tip or activity to do related to that subject that you may not have thought of but sounds good.
Kudos to Wolgemuth for tackling subjects us dads are afraid of like physically touching your daughter. He deals with the subject forthrightly and delineates the appropriate and inappropriate. Another great inclusion is the chapter on blended families, single-dads, and long-distance dads. Some of his best insight is on the subject of dating and dealing with your daughters' friends and that worthless bum who seems to feel worthy to date your daughter. (OK, that last part is my phrasing, not his.) That part alone makes the entire book worth reading.
The book, as I mentioned, is a fast read; almost too fast. I would have liked him to go into more depth on a few things as it seems to me that he knows his stuff.
Bottom line: Dads will enjoy and understand this book. You will better protect your daughter and raise her to be a great woman with these principles.

6/'07: I have an 11 yo daughter. I thought this book was wonderful, however, I wish I'd gotten it several years ago. There is plenty of advice I would have enjoyed reading about and applying when she was younger. But, there is also plenty as well for now and as she gets older. It is never too late to start where you are! I think it is excellent for new fathers; start'em off right! I plan to purch. several and donate to the local public library, hospital library, etc.

I have a son on the way, but before we knew the gender, a mentor recommended this book on raising girls. Just reading about Wolgemuth's experiences with his daughters made me want a little girl of my own. He gives great real world practical advice and has tons of good ideas that can be immediately applied in your life. It is very well written with a personal tone that spoke straight to my heart. I highly recommend it to anyone raising a daughter.
