A Wild Father’s Day by Sean Callahan, illustrated by Daniel Howarth


From chapters.ca:When the kids give Dad a card that says, "Have a wild Father's Day," Dad knows just what to do. He says, "Let's act like animals all day long!" They all hop on the bed like kangaroos, run like cheetahs at the park, and swing like monkeys at the playground. Their fun takes them through the day, until a cozy bedtime book tames down two tired kids (and their dad!).

My Dad by Anthony Browne

In an endearing homage to dads everywhere, a boy describes - and exaggerates - the many accomplishments and feats of his father. Among the traits praised are his enormous talent for singing, his near- professional wrestling skills, his extreme bravery in the face of danger (he's not even afraid of the Big Bad Wolf!), and his ability to - quite literally, in Anthony Browne's world - eat like a horse. All of the pictures feature the lovable pater in his signature plaid bathrobe, adding a further comfy layer to a book whose ultimate message is "I love my dad. And you know what? HE LOVES ME! (And he always will.)."

Daddies by Lila Prap

From chapters.ca:
What do lions, hippos, kangaroos, and giraffes have in common? They all have Daddies! Rhyming text punctuated with fun animal noises makes Daddies a read-aloud treat. Prap's bold art has been a hit with critics and consumers alike. This book with its "daddy" theme is perfect for Father's Day promotions, tables and windows. The delightful rhyming text will engage even the youngest child and makes it a great "cuddle time" book to be shared between father and son. Great for trade, institutional, gift accounts, and baby shops, the animals make it a candidate for zoos too.
