This story is a joy for little children (would suggest 2-5), telling the importance of daddies in the animal kingdom. Very simple, but very enjoyable.

It's hard to find good daddy books. I bought this one for my husband to celebrate father's day. Our little one loves it - though my husband isn't too keen on some of the characterization like "daddy scruffy", "daddy slimy" "daddy burp", etc. The book tries to balance descriptives of the animal world (scruffy = porcupines slimy = snakes, burp = moose) with playful descriptions of 'dad's and overall I think it does a pretty good job. The layout changes from horizontal to vertical for a few pages which I find disorienting when reading the book to my child. But, it's still a well-loved book in our household and it's nice for my husband to have some special books that aren't all about 'mummy'.

Two to four words on each page of rhyming, silly daddy descriptions from author Tim Warnes make this an ideal story time book for the toddler set. But it's the accompanying illustrations of Jane Chapman (Bear Snores On) that steal the show. Yes, some daddies jiggle and some are bouncy, some daddies burp, but all daddies hug! All sorts of animal daddies and their offspring are parodied here in illustrations large enough to hold the attention of a group of children. This bright colorful book showing a lion daddy with his cubs on the cover is a must for every library, and a plus for that personal bedtime collection; a great gift for a new dad.
So Cute

I saw this in the library while I was pregnant with my daughter and I was doubled over in laughter as I read it aloud to my husband. What's not to love about getting to call him dirty and slimy in the name of a children's book? In all seriousness, this is an adorable book in a durable sleeved hardcover format with crisp, vividly-colored illustrations and rhythmic use of similar sounds and rhymes. I like to have this be the main book my husband reads to our daughter now (she's 8 months) on the logic that she will learn to associate the word "daddy" with him due to the repetitive use of the word throughout the book. Many props to all the dads out there who take the time to read to your children - it is one of the most valuable uses of your time as a father and your child likely appreciates this special time more than you realize.
