Review

A celebration of the father/child relationship. David Melling's approach is affectionate and comic... (The Guardian )

This charming book ... had the whole family in stitches again and again. Enormous fun and a big hit. (Carousel, Issue 23 20030301)

Children adore his wacky illustrations and zany sense of humour (Your New Baby 20030301)

Praise for David Melling:
'lively illustrations of animals doing joyously batty things - making even our quietest toddler shriek with laughter.' (Carousel 20030301)

Boldly and beautifully drawn (Limited Edition 20030301)

From the Publisher

Perfect for children and their fathers to share!

2 Humorous, quirky illustrations, with telling details by leading picture book artist - David Melling.

3 This new mini jacketed hardback is a perfect present.

4 A clear and concise text which is a fantastic example of a story with an identifiable pattern. It is ideal for children grappling with their Key Stage 1 reading skills, especially with regard to 'contextual understanding' and 'word recognition'.

Praise for David Melling:
'lively illustrations of animals doing joyously batty things - making even our quietest toddler shriek with laughter.' - Carousel

Boldly and beautifully drawn - Limited Edition --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars A top class children's illustrator 6 Mar 2005
By Mrs. Stacey A. Hegarty
Format:Hardcover
This book is a firm favourite in our household, the simple text and delightfully humourous illustrations make it a sure fire hit with our 20 month old daughter and myself. I have read this countless times at bedtime and it never fails to make us laugh.

2.0 out of 5 stars Dissapointing 12 Nov 2012
By Alex
Format:Board book|Amazon Verified Purchase
Although this is a beautifully illustrated book, I was very dissapointed with it's content. Titled "Just Like my Dad" I was under the impression that it would be a flattering book which would be just right for my son who adores his father. Instead it portrays a rather fat, lazy and greedy "dad". Not the image I want to re-enforce in my son!
Sadly the "look inside" feature did not give info on more than the first page so it was not possible to judge the content accurately from it.

I gave this to my child on Father's Day. He is a read-haired boy and we have always called our "baby lion" so this was a perfect present for him and daddy. Very sweet.
