Publisher's Summary
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Things My Son Needs to Know About the World, by Fredrik Backman.
'You can be whatever you want to be, but that's nowhere near as important as knowing that you can be exactly who you are'
Things My Son Needs to Know About the World is a tender and funny series of letters from a father to his son about one of life's most daunting experiences: parenthood.
In between the sleep-obsessed lows and oxytocin-fuelled highs, Backman takes a step back to share his own experience of fatherhood and how he navigates such unchartered territory. Part memoir, part manual, part love letter to his son, this book relays the big and the small lessons in life. As he watches his son take his first steps into the world, he teaches him how to navigate both love and IKEA and tries to explain why, sometimes, his dad might hold his hand just a little bit too tightly.
This is an irresistible and insightful collection from one of the world's most beautiful storytellers.

a good listen for dads
A good book for dad's to listen to. Reminds you of your experience with your own child and see how unique yet similar each dad's experience is. Lots of funny explanations in the book about usual normal life things and it is all well written.

More like what you need to know about your son!!
Looks like from time when Backman was exploring and refining his writing style. he. tends to get repetitive etc etc but this was a short little book which I loved. Read it with a lite head and don't read too much into it or take it literally, you will love it. I am a new dad, found this funny.

For most parents-to-be and parents of young kids
This book is hilarious and even though I am 65, I loved every bit of the narrative. The narration too is intuitively funny. - Arvind Passey - Blog: www.passey.info
