Daddies Are For Wild Things

Description

Boys love action, and this little picture book is filled with all the wild things that daddies like to do from pillow-punching to tickling to playing pirates and walking the plank getting wet in the mud, sitting on and rolling on the ground, and finally, daddies are good for cuddles and falling asleep. A celebration of fathers and their role.
