My Daddy and Me
by Amy E. Sklansky; illustrated by Ard Hoyt
Some things always go well together: Peanut butter and jelly. The moon and the stars. Hot chocolate and marshmallows. Using pairings like these, Sklansky takes you through the seasons comparing fun twosomes to "Daddy and me."
We go together, like honey and bees. Like peanut butter and jelly, like hide-and-seek.
The clever, easily recognized pairings draw children in along with the breezy, colorful illustrations of fathers and their sons and daughters playing, laughing and just plain enjoying each other's company -- no matter what they are doing.
I like the simple way this book shows the beautiful bond between Dads and their kids -- just hanging out and having a blast together. My 5-year-old giggles at the pairings, like "boots and rain" with pictures of the father and son jumping enthusiastically in the puddles.
