My Dad Will Do

Author: Martin ThomasIllustrator: Ag Jatkowska

Every toddler knows it’s hard to be little, but when there’s a willing Dad about to show you the world, it’s an adventure. When presented with things out of reach or too difficult, a little elephant relies on his dad to help out, using a gently rhyming refrain that ends with ‘but for now my dad will do’. It’s a refreshing take on the closeness of child and parent and gives a secure message of constancy.

Painterly artwork that is not overloaded with too much detail, has a calming effect, making this book great for bedtime.
