And 38 of his most important attributes are captured in whimsical and humorous drawings that will delight husbands everywhere--and have wives smiling in wry recognition. Whether he's doing pest control with a fly swatter, getting caught up in wires as an IT specialist, or making a mess as sous chef, hubby's antics are amusing. The perfect gift for an anniversary, birthday, or anytime--just to let him know how much he's loved.
