My Dad!

By Charles Fuge

Book Overview

Charles Fuge, the acclaimed artist of I Know a Rhino , Sometimes I Like to Curl Up in a Ball , and It's a Monster Party , is back with another winner that's sure to become a favorite with kids-and their parents. Not only does it have the cutest illustrations ever, but the story is one dear to children's hearts: the importance of a loving, protective father. A cuddly little bear has a tale to tell about his dad, "the roughest, toughest, biggest, strongest dad in the whole jungle." The real fun is in the illustrations of cute cubs marching behind and listening- and running off one by one in fear as they hear that Daddy has teeth sharper than an alligator, more claws than an eagle, and can roar as loud as a lion. But when the little bear finds himself alone and gets scared, it's Papa who comes to save the day. The final illustration -with Daddy carrying his smiling cub, will warm any heart.

Customer Reviews

11month old can't get enough of this book

My little 11 month old son can't leave this book alone. He just loves it and even when I've read it to him 10 times he'll drag it off the book shelf and hand it to me again. He makes his Nanny read it to him for up to an hour. Now looking for more books by this author.

Cute Book!

This is a cute book which was recommended to me by a speech therapist. At the time, I bought this for an 18 month toddler. I like this book because it is a board book which takes a lot of abuse. This book does not have a lot of words which is great because you can make up your own story each time you read the book to your toddler.

YAY for My Dad!

My daughter took to this book right away. She is only 17 months old, yet, she can identify with the tempestuous little bear, bragging about his daddy. My husband especially likes to read it with her. It is definitely a father/child bonding book in our house.

my twins love it!

I bought this book as a gift to my husband from his one year old b/g twins for Father's Day. Here it is the beginning of November, and it's still the twins most favorite book. True, the story line is simple (great for those VERY young readers like mine), but the pictures are wonderful (colorful & lots of detail), and the pages have a little weight to them so they don't rip as easily as some other books where the pages are super thin! It perhaps is a little too simple of a story line for older readers, but if you're looking for a special book for Dad to read to younger readers, then you've found the perfect book.
