My Dad!

by Charles Fuge

"Fuge's bright, stylized illustrations are expressive and appealing...This warm, fuzzy father-son book is a fine addition."-- School Library Journal

The popular picture book by celebrated illustrator Charles Fuge ( I Know a Rhino , It's a Monster Party , Sometimes I Like to Curl Up in a Ball) is now available in board-just in time for Father's Day.
A cuddly cub claims to have "the roughest, toughest dad in the whole jungle." But his awesome, fearsome description of Daddy--"teeth sharper than an alligator, more claws than an eagle"--scares away all his friends, one by one. Suddenly, the little bear is all alone in the forest, and very frightened. Guess who saves the day? The final illustration of the smiling cub wrapped in his Daddy's arms will warm every heart.

(before you ask, I added books to my reading goal so this doesn't ~technically count~ for it) My two-year-old neighbour is absolutely obsessed with this book. She's a huge daddy's girl and can recite parts of this book by heart. It's absolutely adorable and a great representation of young father-child relationships.
