Review Quotes

"A simple and easy to follow picture book about daddies. Different types of animals are illustrated spending time with their fathers. The perfect book for little ones and Father's Day." - Tara Hutson (Librarian)

"My Daddy and Me is an appealing book for toddlers. The use of animals and colorful illustrations make the book perfect for little ones. My Daddy and Me would go perfectly hand in hand with My Mommy and Me. The different activities that the animal daddys do with the animal children opens up for questions like "what do you like to do with daddy?" or "do you also like jumping in puddles with daddy?" This is a fun book that is sure to make your little ones happy!" - Denise Hobbs

"The book, My Daddy and Me, follows a youngster doing a number of different activities with his father. The compare how much they both love doing the different things (building a tower with blocks, jumping in puddles, going in the pool). This would be very cute to read with a little one and talk about doing those different things and ask if they like to do them. It's not too gendered (these aren't necessarily male-dominated tasks). I'd recommend this book to parents or care-givers of little ones aged 12-24 months." - Sarah Lewis
