I love the way Todd Parr brings his characters to life. Actually, not JUST the characters but the images of the real life roles that they play! It is more than the bright and vivid images on each page that speaks volumes, but providing a sundry of ways to see someone. He describes a wide range of ways to view, appreciate, and respect daddies who have very different jobs and lifestyles. He has a way of making you notice the good in the characters and not limit ourselves to stereotypical roles. Th...more
I'm always excited to read books by Todd Parr. The brightly colored illustrations are always very inviting and fun to see.
The Daddy Book, by Todd Parr is a celebration of fathers. The book shows many different fathers, with many different interests and the many ways they interact with their kids. The book concludes by explaining that although each father is different they all love their children.

Suzy's rating: 4 stars
Todd Parr is one of my favorite childrens' book authors/illustrators. This book has great illustrations of different dads interacting with their children. It's a fun book, and the fathers in the book look like loads of fun as well. This book would be great for preschoolers and probably children up to third grade. It would be a great read-aloud to a large group of children with its' bold and bright illustrations.

I received this for Father's Day in 2005 or 2006. It was purchased at a mall in Virginia while we were visiting Kim and Mike. Gert and I had a huge blowout argument about something or other (interesting how the topic is always forgotten). This was just kind of shoved to me.
Nevertheless, I love it because Beetle gave it to me. :)
All fathers are different, but they all love their children.

I love (and Serena loves) the bright colors and fun stories. I love how it shows that there are all different kinds of Daddies, but all of them love you and want you to be who you are.
My kids got this for me at the library today, so I sat down and read it with them after school.
I like Todd Parr.
Bright pictures, caring daddies... what's not to like?

Multiple representations of caring and diverse dads. This would be great for an older sibling to read with his younger sibling.

Really enjoyed this book. Mr. Parr's books are great to read for an introduction to the family unit.
The Daddy Book by Todd Parr is a picture book celebration of fathers. Harriet picked out the book at the library because she saw some fathers who reminded her of her own. She brought the book home and read it to Ian.
The fathers in The Daddy Book aren't idyllic representations. These are silly, unique but loving men who are fathers. They are playful. Sometimes they are disorganized and they might even wear mismatched socks!

Great book for pre-school storytime. It gives kids a good example of all types of fathers.
Not a big fan of Todd Parr's "Zany" style, but we somehow inherited a copy of this...

This book started my daughter on her Todd Parr fascination. I had to renew it at the library because she was so sad to return it. She loved reading this one with her daddy.
A little too similar to his earlier work "The Mommy Book" but I gave it 5 stars anyway.
I love this book because it is about dads and I need to take care of my dad.
this author is great. love the colours and the simple story
Dad and N read this over and over and over again.
