Oh Dad

Just in time for Father’s Day, here’s a book that spares nothing in its reverence for the father/son bond. A playful puppy can’t get enough time with his doggy daddy. They wrestle, make cookies, plant tomatoes, go for walks— all things doggy dads have the option of doing instead of spending hours at the office making billion dollar deals. No matter how tired this daddy is, he always makes time for his son, even singing him a nighttime lullaby when bedtime comes.

Written by Newberry Medal-winning author Jerry Spinelli, and with bold colors and vivid illustrations by Seymour Chwast, this book captures the special love between father and son.
