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.

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
