I want my Daddy! by Tracey Corderoy
Ill. by Alison Edgson. Little Tiger Press, 2015. ISBN 9781848690493
Sometimes when you have a really bad day, like the days when you're
a knight and your castle falls down, you just need your daddy. And
when your daddy is a knight too and has a special pot of castle glue
it's even better. Or when you fall off your valiant steed and hurt
yourself, daddies are the best. Or there is something on the end of
your fishing line and you are sure it's a monster.
This is a charming story for the very young about that special
relationship that they have with their daddies that is heart-warming
and reaffirming. Soft but bright illustrations exude love and the
bond between Arthur and his daddy comes alive. A great read-aloud to
recommend to families for special times between father and child or
just for reflecting on the love between them.
