The Daddy Book

Bought each of my kids favorite baby books for their cousins baby shower. My infant used to light up when we read this. Loved the colors and contrast and then grew to love it as a toddler. Would read and laugh.

My husband, who is a really involved Dad, often bemoaned the fact that we had several "mommy" books, but it was difficult to find "daddy" books, so I ordered this one for him for Father's Day. It very matter-of-factly states all of the different kinds of activities that different kinds of daddies do, from baking cookies, to getting donuts, to working at home to working far away. It is an excellent complement to Todd Parr's "The Mommy Book," which has an equally inclusive of the many different kinds of activities that mommies can do. Ultimately, the message is that all daddies are different, and daddies do all kinds of different things, but daddies love their kids and they want them to be the best people that they can be. My three year old daughter keeps both "The Mommy Book" and "The Daddy Book" in her stash of books in her room that she can "read" all of the time.

First of all I LOVE all Todd Parr books, I’m a big fan for years as a teacher, and now more so as a mom. I bought this one for my toddler, and he loves it, he's not 2 yet, and you can see how this book gets his interest because as soon as he sees it he start saying “papa”, I highly recommend it for early childhood, since it promotes diversity emphasizing on that everybody is different and all daddies are different and that is where human beauty is found. But then again, most Todd Parr books get this important message through. I RECOMMEND ALL TODD PARR BOOKS as a mom and as an early childhood teacher

Todd Parr is amazing! A darling book for daddies to read to their little ones. A sweet baby shower or new daddy book. We had it when my kids were little and I bought a new one for my son who will soon be the daddy to our first grandbaby!! All Todd’s books are a must have for me at home and in my Kindergarten library! My goal is to have every one!

Todd Paar's books appeal to adults & kids. He makes it easy for adults to discuss difficult subjects with small children: The Peace Book, It's OK to be Different, The Feelings Book. Paar's stories allow children to gain perspective: why and how mommy & daddy work, what & who is a grandpa/grandma, the way families function. The Daddy Book helps small children know what to expect and teaches adults [dads in this case] what & how their kids think. Thank goodness for Paar's work!

My daughter loves all of the Todd Parr books. She has Down Syndrome, and she loves to read and copy the pictures. The pictures are easy to look at and copy, and she makes her own little "books". She wants all of the Todd Parr books eventually! I would recommend these books to any young child, and any child with Autism or Down Syndrome, as they are very easy to read, and keep their interest.

Cute. We're big fans of Todd parr here. I will say I was a little disappointed that it was just the mommy book with the name daddy replaced, so not super original and my daughter noticed. But my husband loved having her read it to him.

The little loves listening to any Parr book - but picking out his Da on the page “that’s my Da!” is just the best. Thank you Todd Parr for again showing us the different is beautiful.
