It is a special day and the exuberant illustrations and bouncy rhyme perfectly match the refreshingly inclusive text. Daddy has tattoos, a tiny ponytail and an ear-ring. Role-models like this do not often feature in young children's books, so it is lovely that childrenw hi have fathers that may be late collecting and look like this when they do, can identify with the story and characters within it. Early Years Educator Naturally, this story will hold particular significance for children whose situation mirrors the boy's but it should not be disregarded for others. Young children eagerly anticipate seeing loved ones and this is a good book to snuggle up with and share with someone special at bedtime. www.writeaway.org.uk 5 stars. Brilliantly brought to life. Books for Keeps Perfect for truck-loving pre-schoolers. Child Care There is a heart-warming quality in the depiction of a strong father-son bond. School Librarian
