Ranked #39,111 in Entertainment, #481,479 overall | Donates to Soldiers Angels

Every year, millions of Americans face the same dreaded dilemma: what to get a guy for Father's Day. Many of us who happen to be of the male gender simply go blank when we're asked for a gift suggestion. As a result, we often get another one of those dreaded neckties or something else that really doesn't fit the Bill (or John, or ...).

Well, take heart. Veteran park ranger and author Jim Burnett has come to the rescue, not just once, but twice. The sequel to his popular book, Hey Ranger! True Tales of Humor and Misadventure from America's National Parks has been released, so now you have two great choices for a Father's Day gift.

Hey Ranger 2 - More True Tales of Humor and Misadventure from the Great Outdoors is a hilarious read that everyone from experienced outdoorsmen to armchair travelers will find both entertaining and informative. Better yet, it's affordable, the right size and color for anyone, and can be enjoyed virtually anywhere.

Both books are among the small number of chosen by Barnes and Noble each year for their annual Father's Day Gift Guide ( Hey Ranger! in 2006 and Hey Ranger 2 in 2007. There's a pretty good recommendation from America's largest bookseller.

Each short chapter in both books is its own, stand-alone story, so these are perfect books or a busy person who just wants a short, fun reading break.

The author and his books have been featured on ESPN Radio, National Public Radio, and on local radio and tv programs around the country.

Oh, just one more thing. These books are also a great gift for women. Many of the favorable comments the author has received have been from the gals, so this is a great gift for just about anyone!
