Okay, we're not suggesting hat Pop isn't already the coolest dad on the block, it's just that, well, maybe there are just a few little areas where he might benefit from a refresher course. (Whew - that was a close one.) But not to worry - once your dad has worked his way through even a couple of the myriad tricks, games, jokes, tales and stunts jampacked into this volume, ...

Preschoolers fairly bubble over with emotions, and mixed in with all of that frustration and occasional anger and jealousy and ugly stuff, the depth of their love, especially for the big people who take care of them, is almost indescribable. Except of course to the Little Nutbrown Hare in this exceptionally sweet story. He knows exactly how far his love goes, besting himself with every new description until ...

When brilliant cartoonist-author-playwright Jules Feiffer turns his keenly observing eye to the relationship between a little girl and her daddy, you know you are in for a treat. This little girl isn't looking to twirl around the kitchen floor on the tops of her dad's shoes; this little girl is looking to summon her strength, channel her focus, keep her balance and ... climb the daddy mountain. Oh, and if ...

Any pint-sized fan of Eric Carle's work will immediately recognize the gentle-faced moon of this book, and any parent of said pint-sized fan will immediately recognize the pleas of a little one to bring her the moon. From this familiar territory, Mr. Carle makes wonderful use of a couple of fold-out pages to tell the story of a dad who tries to reach up and pluck the moon for his ...

This collection of essays will make you laugh, and in classic Trillin style, it will also make you hungry.

Sometimes it can seem tough to explain to someone so close to you just how very much you love him. Perhaps the better approach is to try to tell him how very, very far you'd go to protect him. It seems more consistent with the preschooler worldview. This book takes that tack, and it does so from both the father's and the child's perspective. First the heroic (and a smidge ...

Mr. Gopnik's collection of essays is a marvelous take on the modern, urban family-of-four setting. Something in the voice of the storyteller, and certainly in the up-to-the-moment-ness of it, makes this group of stories especially edgy -- touching and zing-ing, it cuts close to our deepest hopes and our worst neuroses, all at once. While some complaints about lack of focus in certain pieces may be fairly leveled, the essays ...

This treasure of a book uses richly colored illustrations and spare text to make its simple point especially powerfully: time spent with Dad is the best time of all. The voice of the little boy rings true as he describes his cherished Friday morning ritual with his dad, a walk through the neighborhood to a pancake feast at their favorite diner. The tone is strikingly sincere, neither saccharine nor jokey, ...
