Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
He's all right, my dad. He's as strong as a gorilla and as happy as a hippopotamus. He's a great dancer, a brilliant singer, he's fantastic at football and he makes me laugh. But that's not all that's great about my dad...
If you are looking for a book that inspires, tugs at the heart strings without overwhelming sentimentality, is packed with subtle humour and perfectly captures the way children look fondly on their dads then look no further than the first-rate My Dad by the equally superb Anthony Browne.
This warm, hilarious and utterly delightful tribute to dads everywhere is cleverly executed by Browne, whose own inimitable style rarely fails to please, and is sure to become an absolute classic. An almost perfect picture book, with bold, simple text accompanying the even bolder illustrations, My Dad is a must for kids, and makes the ideal gift for beloved fathers everywhere, however young or old they may be. Age 3 and over. --Susan Harrison

can do anything!,
By A Customer
This review is from: My Dad (Hardcover)
From the inside covers to Dad's robe to toast popping out of the toaster to showing the Big Bad Wolf the door & walking a tightrope to wrestling giants; to eating like a horse & swimming like a fish; to being as big as a house & as soft of a teddy bear, to singing brilliantly & being as wise as an owl - everything matches Dad's plaid robe, blue striped pjs & red comfy slippers.With a smile on every page - this is a book forever - about respecting & loving, admiring & encouraging the Dads of this world to unite & win over their children's hearts. Lovely, lovely book & oh, so true! A charming keeper!

A wonderful, humorous book.,
By J French (hexham, northumberland United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: My Dad (Paperback)
Our family have fallen in love with this book. Our daughter, Ella, adores having it read to her (she's only 20 months old). I would have imagined that 'My Dad' would hold little interest for her until she was much older, but she loves looking at the illustrations and shouting, "He's all right, my dad!". The drawings are very beautiful, but also full of funny details which mean that you notice something new every time you pick 'My Dad' up.

Dad you're fab,
By
This review is from: My Dad (Paperback)
I just loved this book but not as much as my 3 year old who has been enjoying the pictures and story from about 18 months onwards. He now "reads" it to me having heard the story so many times he can recxount the words by looking at the pictures. Best of all is the end "... I love my Dad....and....he loves me....and he always will".
Fantastic stuff
