Daddy

Toddler-PreS--Patricelli's round-faced baby is back in this delightful board book celebrating fathers. The baby, who is pinkish, introduces its dad in rhyming text describing his physical features and activities they do together. "Daddy likes to sing to me./ I play horsey on his knee." Gender stereotypes are pushed against in a compilation of tasks Dad accomplishes such as cleaning, giving a bath, and cooking. The closing pages feature a variety of dads of all skin colors, including a family that has two dads. A first purchase for libraries everywhere.
