My Dad!

by Charles Fuge

Charles Fuge, the acclaimed artist of I Know a Rhino , Sometimes I Like to Curl Up in a Ball , and It’s a Monster Party , is back with another winner that’s sure to become a favorite with kids—and their parents. Not only does it have the cutest illustrations ever, but the story is one dear to children’s the importance of a loving, protective father. A cuddly little bear has a tale to tell about his dad, “the roughest, toughest, biggest, strongest dad in the whole jungle.” The real fun is in the illustrations of cute cubs marching behind and listening— and running off one by one in fear as they hear that Daddy has teeth sharper than an alligator, more claws than an eagle, and can roar as loud as a lion. But when the little bear finds himself alone and gets scared, it’s Papa who comes to save the day. The final illustration —with Daddy carrying his smiling cub, will warm any 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.
