I really enjoyed reading this book. This book is written from the point of view of a small child who talks about all the many reasons why he loves his daddy. This book is very engaging with the large print and colorful illustrations. Also, the text uses repetition and rhyming which is great for the younger audience. I found this book stand out because there are not a lot of books out there that talk about fathers, especially for younger students.

I have no doubt children will enjoy this typical picture book about the relationship between the toddler and the dad. I liked that from the illustrations and the words, the child could be either a boy or a girl. It includes all the typical daily activities between the two characters. It was not exceptional nor unique but it was still something I would not hesitate to buy for a grandchild or my own child. They would love it.
Sweet and simple. I love Emma Dodds large scale illustrations for young readers. The picture of fatherhood is a little on the traditional side, but should be acceptable to most families. There is no mother at all, so it would work for single and same-sex families. The rhyme scheme is a little sing-song, but is vert toddler friendly.

Big, bold pictures set atop blank space provide a visually appealing book for the younger audience. The rhymes are simple and the pictures match. The detailed action in the pictures can be observed closer and talked about between the reader and the listener providing an engaging read.

Toddlers and Pre-K. Emma Dodd's charming illustrations compliment this perfectly simple book about and awesome dad. Reminds me of my husband and son and gave me warm fuzzies. A perfect gift book or story to celebrate father's day.
This book is very sweet. Simple and lovely little rhymes with cute illustrations. Brought a smile to our faces.
This is just lovely, a sweet book for toddlers to give Dads for Fathers Day, great pictures too.
Dodd's illustrations are big an beautiful as always. Great pick for a Father's Day storytime.
Cute book! We got it from the library for the weeks before and after Father's Day.
