Reviews / Votes
"Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant - a perfect pressie for an early Father's Day idea too!" * Read It Daddy * "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 * "A joyful funny and uplifting celebration of the special relationship between dads and their children, and the importance of being yourself - whoever that may be!" * Parents in Touch * "This is a lovely story, with bright and interesting pictures throughout and an easy story to follow" * The Bookbag * "Full of excitement and colourful illustrations, children will enjoy this funny tale about the importance of following your heart" - Children's book of the week * Liverpool Echo *More details
