An ideal read aloud for Father's Day or any time when someone needs a reminder of a parent's love, this picture book is not a quiet ode to reflective moments spent together.
Instead, it is filled with lively depictions of imaginary times spent together having all sorts of adventures.
Young readers will delight in the images and the thought of all that actionstomping, splashing, clanging and buzzing as might happen if the father's love were an elephant, a whale, or a construction site.
I had to smile at all the action depicted in these images and the notion of love as a horse in a rodeo where it "would bound and buck and bray" unpaged as well as the final scene in which the two finally spend a quiet moment together at the end of the day.
After all, even fathers and their little boys have to sleep, With some practice, this one makes a great read aloud and is effective in getting someone all revved up for the next activity.
Great "dad" read aloud :D If my love were a book, it might possibly be this one! Wonderful bedtime storybook.
Beautifully written with excellent illustrations, I'm not sure why this is so "specifically" a fatherson book Other than that all the things talked about are traditionally malegendered interests, but even so a dad can tell his little girl about fighting off dragons, or a mom could tell her son about fire trucks.
Just call it a celebration of love between a parent and child and let people make up their minds whether it "fits" their family or not.
Heartwarming! This is a rhyming book about the love between a father and son, It would make a nice readaloud for Father's Day, sitelink blogspot. com
