Description

From all of the daddies,
tall or small,
mine is the best,
the very best. . . .

Some animal daddies comfort their babies, or hold them tight, or face every danger for them. But the narrator of this loving picture book knows his daddy does all of that -- and more -- for him. In this sweet companion to the New York Times bestselling My Mother Is Mine, Marion Dane Bauer and Leslie Wu celebrate fathers and all the wonderful things they do.
