Product Description
These are snapshots of life, of a 3- to 6-year-old little girl, her single-parent father and their blended family. She appears in drawings, he appears in tongues, using poetry to transcribe his daughter's description of her drawings, and prose to describe how they've made a life together, in a way that resembles a dance. In this picture we see the simple beauty between leading and following, as two partners do a tender boogie glide through growing up together. These universal stories are like rcepies for how-it-can-work, by example, in the new, most prevalent form of family, the blended or stepfamily. As India said when she was asked why is it a good idea to read books, "It's a good idea to read books to learn good ideas." Soundtrack Music CD Included!

Beautiful book for blended families/recent divorce etc. August 25, 2006
The subtitle is "a father's steps to a blended family that really works" A soundtrack MUSIC CD is included....lovely snapshots of life of a 3-6 year old little girl, her single-partent father and their blended family . She appears in the drawings -- he appers in tonggues using poetry to transcribe his daughter's drawings-- and prose....the title comes from the author's belief that a daddy is his daugher's first dance partner. This is a perfect book for giving at any age....on a birthday...after a divorce...or even on a daughter's first prom night...beautiful....Each of them could be filmed-- fabulous gift book....YES real men do go to tea parties...a lovely book for fathers, mothers and families....

Daddy Daughter Dinner Dance takes family values back to where they once were long ago. Although not tradtional in nature the displays of love and caring teach us all how to care. What a beautiful parent to take the time to see the beauty of all the
lovely drawings and make poetry out of each of them,while most of us hang our childrens drawings on the refrigerator and then file them somewhere,Bill teaches us the beauty in what we as parents can learn from our most precious gifts, our children.

Quateman breaks life down to it's lowest common denominator-the heart. Through his daughter's pictures and his touchingly open essays, we see for ourselves that there need be no boundaries when it comes to blending our families together.

More 66% of families now days are consisted of "Broken Homes" or divorced parents. This causes much confusion especially for the son or daughter that has to go through the transit between different rules and structure. I have witnessed this first hand as my parents divorced when i was about seven or eight. It was tough having to understand the meaning to all this and often time blamed myself for the splitting of my parents. Myself just ending my teen years, read this book and look back and recognizing the value family communication and how important it is for the family to come together despite their differences. I believe this book is a cheat-sheet to parenting and helps guide you as a parent to bettering your relationship with the rest of your family. I strongly encourage you to take a look at this book because I think everyone needs a little cheat-sheet once in a while. =P-dylan age 17
