Our review:
Told in delightful rhyme, Dads Are Incredible by Simon Phillip and Dawn Lo is a celebration of all the wonderful dads out there. Heart-warming and funny, this book is a lovely read which recognises all the fantastic things about the relationship between a dad and their child.
Throughout the book, dads of all shapes and sizes appear, showing different interests and different emotions. The warm and diverse illustrations give plenty of opportunity for discussion about what dads are best at and what different dads might do.
Sprinkled with humour, the words within these pages will encourage children to appreciate their dads, whether they are ‘cuddly’ or ‘tough’, ‘serious’ or ‘silly’, or completely different to any other dad they know!
Our verdict:
Dads Are Incredible is a beautiful book that celebrates the love between a father and child and is sure to be a favourite on every bookshelf.
