|summary=A cute account of a loving parent-child relationship which could get a bit boring to read aloud.
}}
More positively, at a time when so many things even for the youngest children are very segregated as for boys or girls, this shows a child who could be either, dressed in a red t-shirt and blue trousers and other simple, practical clothes (except when dressed up as a rabbit).
I should say that our children (aged 2 and 4) like this book more than I do, not just because it's about Dad but because I really prefer books with more of a story and a little more substance to it. I would get really bored if I had to read this aloud very frequently. Also, its shortness and simplicity is sometimes welcome as our boys like to be read multiple stories at bedtime and this won't take long, but it makes the book seem a bit simplistic for our 4 -year -old.
Thank you very much to Orchard Books for sending a copy to the Bookbag.
Do have a look too at [[I Love My Mummy by Giles Andreae and Emma Dodd|I Love My Mummy]]. [[Can't You Sleep, Little Bear? by Martin Waddell and Barbara Firth]] is a touching portrait of a father-son relationship. We also enjoyed [[I Love You, Little Monster by Giles Andreae and Jess Mikhail]].
