From the soft padded exterior to the sturdy pages filled with smiling babies and their daddies, this book is perfect for fathers to share with their infants. The rhyming text is short, sweet, and obviously heartfelt. Babies will love looking at the photographs of other youngsters and their activities, such as playing on a slide, and the objects related to babies such as a rubber ducky floating in the bathtub.
Fathers could use this book to build a strong early bond with their child, but mothers could also read this book to children when dad is away on business - a sweet reminder of how much he loves them. As your child grows, he or she will begin to recognize more and more of the story and associate it with his or her own life. Toddlers may even be inspired to take a trip to the park so daddy can help them climb and swing and slide, just like the dad in the story!
Watching a father share this book with his child is an endearing experience. Even if the baby doesn't understand the bigger meaning behind the words, dad's eyes will reflect their emotional significance. And as baby grows to understand, those same words will speak volumes.
