My Dad Thinks He's Funny by Katrina Germein

"I'm hungry."
"Hello, Hungry.  Pleased to meet you."

We have all heard this one before….maybe even (gasp) been the one to say it someone.  And this is just one of MANY that "dad" may have said to us before.  The boy in the story explains many of the "sayings" that he has heard from his father.  Adults will probably enjoy this book even more than kids as they realize the many they themselves have used on their own kids.  Younger kids may not understand dad's "humor" as it s a little higher level.

Happy Father's Day!!!

When Dads Don't Grow Up by Marjorie Blain Parker

We all know THESE dads.  These dads have never grown up!  These are the dads that "still read the comics and watch cartons".  These dads "understand that shopping carts are for racing" and "that clothes don't have to match,"  Kids with dads like this....should consider themselves lucky!  (And I can safely say....I live with one of those "dads"!

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!
