Oh, Daddy!

Description

Daddies. They can be funny and lovable and really, really silly. 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 With art that's boldly graphic and totally engaging, 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.

Bob Shea is the author of Big Plans, illustrated by Lane Smith. He is also the author and illustrator of I'm a Shark; Oh, Daddy!; Race You to Bed; New Socks; and the wildly popular Dinosaur vs. series. Bob lives in Connecticut with his family. He can eat way more pie than Cheetah.

"The gentle humor evident in the contrasts between text and pictures, as well as the scenes of the father doing things outrageously wrong, will keep kids entertained. This will work equally well in storytimes or one-on-one." -- School Library Journal (starred review) "A breath of fresh air." -- Kirkus Reviews "His amiable pair accomplishes necessary tasks and goof around, too-busy parents will want to try this formula of patience plus humor." -- Publishers Weekly "This stylistically simple and undeniably hip book is sure to captivate the under-five set." -- Booklist
