This is a delightful story for two reasons:1) It's about the relationship between fathers and their children, and2) It's about the positive side of a grownup still being able to have fun.After reading this, any adult with children should think about his or her own behavior, and the life lessons you are really teaching. If your children see you really enjoying life, rather than doing what you have to in order to get by, that's an important thing.Read something for fun. Fly a model airplane. Play a game. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter what you do to have fun, but if you haven't enjoyed ANYTHING, then what's the point of it all? Age: K - 2nd grade"This playful book follows four father-child pairs as they spend happy, silly times together, popping bubble wrap and watching cartoons and taking part in shoppingcart races. These are dads who aren't worried about looking goofy or getting their hair wet - dads who still remember what it's like to be little. Don't be fooled. They may look like grown-ups on the outside, But underneath they're just like you . . . Kids!" (Goodreads feature review)Parker shows that dads can be fun play pals with their kids. The many examples should provide at least one that a child can really relate to.
