Father Knows Less or "Can I Cook My Sister?" by Wendell Jamieson
Kids ask the darndest questions--and the answers make for a funny and fascinating(Publishers Weekly) book. Wendell Jamieson's son, Dean, has always had a penchant for asking odd questions. Dad, what would hurt more--getting run over by a car, or getting stung by a jellyfish? Dad, why do policemen like donuts? Dad, does Mona Lisa wear shoes? Because Dad is a newspaperman and city editor for The New York Times, he decided to seek out the real answers to Dean's questions from top experts--movie directors and ship captains, brain surgeons and stabbing victims, a Buddhist monk and a bra fitter, and even Yoko Ono. Their father-son journey for answers to the tough--and weird--questions of life is a sometimes surprising, often hilarious, and always fascinating celebration of the value and beauty of childlike curiosity. Watch a QuickTime trailer for this book.
Wendell Jamieson, city editor for The New York Times, has been a newspaperman for twenty years. He lives in Brooklyn with his wife, Helene Stapinski, and their two children, three-year-old Paulina and seven-year-old Dean--who figures prominently in Father Knows Less.
