Review
On alternating spreads, a brother and a sister relate their daily lives with their father. The pages feature colorful paintings that, although flat and with little background detail, provide a solid backdrop for the simple rhyming couplets. Illustrations are cheerful and childlike, displaying simple scenes both inside the house and camping outdoors. Toddlers will enjoy the rhythm of the text and will identify with a preschooler and parent cooking meals, reading books, and playing pretend. –School Library Journal
This bilingual book, set in rhyme, follows two children and their favorite guy, their father. Pages alternate between a little girl and a little boy. They each do different everyday things with their dad; the book conveys a positive message with a caring father. Word choices are simple and would be well-suited for a read-aloud for younger students, or even an ESL student to have both languages on the same page. Illustrations convey the simplicity of a father-child relationship. –Library Media Connection
