‘My daddy is a great big bear’ says a little girl, and he is bearlike in the mornings – grizzling, grouchy and yawning. Cleaning their teeth together she sees him as a naughty crocodile with a toothy grin; at breakfast he’s like an octopus, he’s got so many things to do; and when it’s time for bed he’s a galumphing monster, threatening to eat her up if she doesn’t tidy up and get ready.
But at the end of the day, too tired to play, he’s just her lovely daddy. The story describes beautifully the fun the two have together and the love between them and it’s told brilliantly through words and Carol Thompson’s scratchy, lively and heart-warming illustrations. A wonderful way to get children thinking about what their daddy means to them. ~ Andrea Reece
