Oh, Daddy!
A young hippo's father doesn't know how to get dressed, or get in the car, or even eat carrots. What would he do without someone to show him how to do everything right? Rising picture book talent Bob Shea has written a sweetly funny story about daddies and their kids-and how much they depend on each other-perfect for Father's Day.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
I don't know what my daddy would do without me, admits a little blue hippo. When his father, wearing oven mitts on his hands and underwear on his head, asks, Is this how you get dressed? the child exclaims, Oh, Daddy! and demonstrates how to put on practical clothes. When his father squeezes through the car window, the child teaches him to use the door. Shea pictures the stocky, tumbling hippos with kidney-bean heads and sets them in simple, sunny digital collages. His amiable pair accomplishes necessary tasks and goof around, too busy parents will want to try this formula of patience plus humor. Ages 3 6.
Customer Reviews
One of my Daughter's Favorites!
This is a great book by Bob O'Shea. We first discovered at our public library, and I'm here buying it today. Not only does it make her laugh at the antics of the hippo father and son, but it's also a helpful reminder to us as parents to keep things light and fun, especially when our kids aren't doing what we'd like them to be doing.
