My Day, boasts little bear, is the roughest, toughest dad in the whole jungle. But little bear makes his dad sound so scary that his friends run away, one by one, until he finds himself all alone. A wonderfully visual affirmation of the confidence and security that children everywhere gain from their parents. Age 3+.

(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.
