Fatherhood is a 1986 book attributed to Bill Cosby and published by Doubleday & Company.

The Canadian National Institute for the Blind published an audio cassette edition of Fatherhood with narration by Bob Askey.

In the episode “Dog of Death”, which first aired in March 1992, the book can be seen burning in the Simpsons’ fireplace.

Cosby's follow-up book, Childhood, published in November 1992, emulated the style with which Schoenstein wrote Fatherhood.

[3] In 2003, Bill Cosby, Charles Kipps, and the production company Smiley, Inc. adapted the book into an animated series.
