The perfect gift for Father's Day

He's all right, my dad. He's as strong as a gorilla and as happy as a hippopotamus. He's a great dancer, a brilliant singer,he's fantastic at football and he makes me laugh. A lot. But that's not all that's great about my dad . . .

A warm and hilarious tribute to Dad (and to dads everywhere) by the ever-brilliant and inventive Anthony Browne.

“Bought this for a first Father's Day present for my husband from my 4-month-old son. He loves it and reads it with daddy most nights. Daddy loves the big hug he gets from my son at the end.” - a 5-star reviewer.

Inspired when he one day found his father’s old dressing gown and felt instantly close to him, Browne wrote this lovingly illustrated tribute to a child’s pride in his father. It instantly appeals: most children see their parents as superheroes even when their feats of heroism are simple everyday tasks
