Kirkus Reviews

Nordstrom is a self-proclaimed “old-fart father.”
"Show & Tell is a hilarious, insightful look at the joys, woes, and fears of fatherhood at any age. Other dads (moms too!) will love and sympathize with Nordstrom’s tales of raising two kids."

Hey Michael!
I’ve been hesitant to tell you this and I hope you understand where I’m coming from.
I’ve gotten to chapter 6 and I don’t think I can continue. I’m going to get a little personal here...I’m seeing a fertility doctor. I’ve been trying to have a baby for a long time. I absolutely understand your point of view, being a dad after 50 and how it affects you. And I enjoyed your style of writing, it was amusing....but it was also hard for me to read, if you can understand why. I’m 38 and I want a baby.
I’m sorry.
