Age range 0 to 3' Who is my Daddy? ' asks a prickly baby animal. Is it the porcupine? The dust bunny? Could it be the cactus? No! It' s the father hedgehog, of course, cuddling his baby to sleep. With This is My Daddy!, acclaimed author-illustrator Mies van Hout gives young readers a fun and often funny challenge: correctly choose a baby animal' s father from among four candidates, rendered in striking portraits. The vibrant cast includes busy beavers, slippery snails, roaming rhinos, and more. A clever twist on babies-and-parents books, This is My Daddy! will mesmerise little ones with the details of its vivid artwork. Then, just when the complacent reader has the pattern all figured out, story time wraps up with a side-splitting surprise.
Praise for This is My Daddy!"Conventions of gender, species, and race have all been rendered moot, making this a universal book for lapsitting. . . With the call-and-response format of "Who is my daddy? " and "This is my daddy!" this generous game will inspire noisy story hours as well as reassuring bedtime rituals. "-School Library Journal"Entertainment both for the child and the adult. . . . In trademark Van Hout style, the visuals are big, bold and bright. The artwork on the ' reveal' pages encompasses an entire two-page spread dominating the visual field and highlighting the father/child relationship. This is particularly important as there are so few Children' s Books on the market that reinforce the father/child bond. This is a welcomed addition. "-Mr. Alex' s Bookshelf"This participation book, with its colorful illustrations, belongs in libraries serving the target age group, and it would be a good home purchase as well. Recommended. "-CM Magazine"Perfect as a bright and appealing gift for a new baby, or to be included in a book basket meant to start a brand-new home library. Mies Van Hout is a talented writer and illustrator whose bold colors are distinct and appreciated by young readers. "-Sal' s Fiction Addiction"This is My Daddy will keep young children entertained and features fairly durable pages, a padded cover and rounded corners. "-Metroland
