"Picture books in which male parental figures feature at all are uncommon enough; but one which focuses entirely on the positive relationship between a father and his child is a rare and very welcome find indeed. What's more, this is such a cracking story and so engagingly told and illustrated, that the absence of mum isn't even remotely an issue, which is hugely refreshing in itself." * Teach Early Years *
