Description/Notes
Represents a variety of fathers, with lots of hair and little hair, making cookies and buying doughnuts, camping out and taking naps, and hugging and kissing their children. My name is Todd Parr This is me with my dog, Bully. We live in San Francisco. People have called my books 'cheerful,' 'kindhearted,' 'refreshing,' and 'reassuring.' I hope you like them! Some daddies work at home Some daddies work far away Some daddies teach you to walk Some daddies teach you to ride a skateboard All daddies love you! Parr celebrates fathers with his trademark colorful, bold artwork in this book that shows all the varieties that fathers come in. Whether they're working at home or working far away, teaching you how towalk or how to ride a skateboard, wearing suits or wearing two different socks,daddies can be pretty cool. With childlike smiling stick figures, bold,brilliant color, and upbeat text, picture-book creator Todd Parr celebrates thediverse, wonderful world of fathers in The Daddy Book. As in his Mommy Book, Parr focuses on thedifferences between individual parents ('Some daddies make cookies. Some daddiesstop for doughnuts.'), but brings it all together every few pages with lineslike, 'All daddies love to kiss and hug you!' or 'All daddies like to watch yousleep!' Parr's quirky artwork and eternally optimistic--yet neversaccharine--books are truly irresistible, for both grownups and kids. Don't missany of his friendly, esteem-boosting titles: The Best Friends Book, It's Okay to Be Different,Underwear Do's andDon'ts, and lots more. (Ages 3 to 6) --Emilie Coulter
