My Dad, My Hero by Ethan Long


Since I was late with Mother's Day, thought I better try to be on time for Father's Day. This is a great book for Father's Day! The boy starts off stating that his father is NOT a super hero. Continuing on in this manner, the boy narrator explains all the reasons why his dad is not a superhero - cannot leap buildings in a single bound, does not have super strength, cannot fly, etc. In the end the boy admits what his dad "is". The illustrations are funny and add more humor to the story. Great book to share with the kids and dads!

Story: 4 Buckeye leaves - It is simple, to the point and the youngest sons/daughters will understand it!
Illustrations: 5 Buckeye leaves - I like the comic strip feel! It is something different!
