Book Description

1 May 2003

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. A lot. But that's not all that's great about my dad . . .

A warm, hilarious, witty and very personal tribute to Dad (and to dads everywhere) by the ever-brilliant and inventive Anthony Browne.

4.0 out of 5 stars Terrific for Tots! 27 Jan 2004
By A Customer
Format:Board book
This is a beautifully illustrated book,and the top favorite of my 15 month old son! It's easy to read aloud because it flows in a lovely sing-song manner, and each page has subtle new surprises hidden in the illustrations so story time doesn't get boring fo adults.

5.0 out of 5 stars In praise of Dads 4 Mar 2005
By M Raven VINE™ VOICE
Format:Board book
Dads get their worth acknowledged here. Fabulous book which is beautifully illustrated. Our son loves it and goes very silly when it reaches the end where the narrator (a small boy) talks about how much he loves his Dad and how much his Dad loves him.
The Dad in our house always gets a big hug at the end of this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for fathers 14 Mar 2007
Format:Board book
I got this book for fathers day from my over sentimental wife, sorry son, it is great.

I remember thinking that my dad was as big as a house and that must be how my young chap sees me ( though I do admit I have gained a few pounds round the middle which won't help!).

The writing is simple and has lots of repetition which is just what young children need to help them on the ladder of learning to read.

the pictures are fun and enhance the story without taking it over completely.

A great book. I like, my son likes it. I can't ask for more.

one thing though as the story is told from the point of view of a young boy (as shown on the last picture) it will not be quite as relevant for young girls.
