DESCRIPTION:
Daddy approaches his weekday activities—morning commute, a piled-high desk, stacks of bills—with stoicism. Daddy's pages are more somber with blacks, browns, and grays. It may also convey to children the love that is behind those everyday adult activities that take grown-ups away from home. In the end, everything comes together for a weekend enthusiastically spent as a family. VERDICT A delightful addition for most collections.—Mindy Whipple, West Jordan Library, UT . The two perspectives alternate between the boy's and his father's on spreads with large, simple text. The lively, cartoonish illustrations convey the ironic humor behind the story line with sunny bright colors for the
Spreads alternate between perspectives--the little boy's excitement at driving his toy car around compared with his father trying to navigate traffic, for example. The toddler is filled with glee as he tackles each new challenge, while the dad faces his day with a a more grown-up combination of perseverance and resignation--yet he finds himself inspired by his son's open-hearted optimism. . The tension is resolved by a transcendent final spread that shows what makes it all worthwhile. In its unvarnished yet loving acceptance of the travails of being a working parent, Just Like Daddy is a perfect Father's Day gift for today's dads. A vivdly illustrated day in the life of a little boy and his daddy, this charming picture book paints a gently ironic comparison of how the day unfolds for each of them
BR said Highly Recommended!!!. I bought this book for my 6 year old son and it happened to arrive on his birthday. He looked at the book all afternoon but said he didn't want to read it until bed time. Just before bed we sat down and read the book together. He absolutely loves this book!!! I have to say that even as an adult I really enjoyed the book and could relate :-). Terri Hopkins said Awesome!!!!!. This book will be one that will be read for generations!
