Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for granting me free access to the advanced digital copy of this book.
This was really cute! Perfect for any dad. It’s a quick read and the references are terrific! The illustrations are definitely top notch. If you don’t know the person referenced in the book, there is an index at the back.

Initially, I felt a little deceived by the cover, thinking that the entire book was Star Wars related.
It is not, but it is clever how the award winning author combines pop culture bad dads with reassuring rhymes almost like an adult picture book.
There is a moms version, too.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

This book was playful and fun; with clever rhymes and such a variety of characters!
It made me laugh to myself as I read it like, yeah, at least my dad isn’t/didnt _____!
I’m debating whether he’d appreciate a copy but I sure appreciate mine!
Thank you so much Workman Pub and NetGalley for granting me an e-copy in exchange for my honest opinion!
Great stuff! Good to know I'm not in the bottom decile of dads, even after I yell "motherf---er" at a baseball game, even when I use the local news in place of the diapers I left home, even after I have to explain what "that's what she said" means when my wife describes a skyscraper.
A WONDERFUL Father's Day gift for the dad in your life! And he can read it with one hand in case you have a lightsaber "accident"!
Super cute and funny book for any new or old dads.
The pictures and rhymes are hilarious and clever. Any new dad with any smidge of anxiety will be cheered by comparisons with Lord Tywin Lannister, Thanos, or Darth Vader.
I would purchase this for any new dad or any dad on Father’s Day.
Thank you NetGalley and Workman Publishing Company for providing this ARC for a review.
I felt this book was ultimately confused on what it wanted to be. It's formatted for and drawn in the style of a kids board book, but there's more language and pop culture references for it to be for anyone other than adults. And if it's specifically for adults, it was oddly light on the pop culture references.
Thank you for the EArc Workman and NetGalley. Really cute and fun book, perfect for Father Day. I loved all the pop culture references and the illustrations are great. Pick it up for the new dad or for any father who needs a little pick me up.
I am a fan and a frequent gift giver of There Are Moms Way Worse so I was excited to see a dads version. I read this out loud and my husband would chime in with which characters it was referencing. It is a super fun book and I can't wait to have it on our shelves.
Funniest book I've read in forever. Also, good rhyme scheme. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to laugh, especially if you're a fan of anything.
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this
SO GOOD!! My husband and I absolutely cackled over the Mom book by these authors, and have been waiting for a Dad version of this book…it did not disappoint! The laughter and relatable content is consistent throughout. I can’t wait to buy this for my husband for Fathers Day, it’ll be a huge hit!
This book is Laugh Out Loud funny! I loved the nostalgic references to movies that I loved and it reminded me how awful those dads were. It is perfect as a Father's Day gift.

Back-handed humor - the funniest kind in my estimation. Even the colorful illustrations were clever and communicated the text most eloquently. Enjoyed this title so much that I now must read the author's similar book about mothers.
Being a dad might be scary but how bad of a dad could you be compared to some of these guys? This is a hilariously fun book about the various bad dads out there, it's funny and a sweet read for any new dads!

There Are Dads Way Worse Than You by Glenn Boozan is a fun little picture book with a rhyming poem about all the parents we out-do in life. The characters he uses are recognizable to many people in popular culture. This little book really takes the edge off of parental guilt.
