In praise of dads of all sorts – everywhere!
My dad can wrestle with giants, eat like a horse, swim like a fish… Can yours? A brilliant, humorous look at fatherhood from a child’s point of view, from this multi-award-winning author/illustrator. MY DAD combines the best of Anthony Browne’s remarkable talent with a noticeably more commercial, simple story.
