Being with Dad is so much fun, from trips to the farm and learning to swim, to hunting for bugs and sharing warm cuddles. Benjamin Dean crafts some brilliant comedy scenes in this sweet, heart-warming story about Archie’s determination to go to Pride in London to support his Dad. It is a great story that shows how a child can idolize a parent so much and how that makes a difference in a child’s life.His dad's acting weird, his mum too, and all he wants is for everything to go back to normal, to three months before when his parents were happy and still lived together. I've read it plenty of times already to my kids and like to change and add parts to see if they're paying attention.

Bedtime is a special reading time so I bought this book for Dad to read when she's all snuggled up in bed with her own teddies.This is a kind book which frames the topic of a parent coming out with a gentle story about decent people dealing as best they can with seismic changes to their lives, and one which will be warmly welcomed by readers waiting to read about a story that mirrors their own.

This poem about a bear cub and the father who loves him enough to treat him to the good things life can offer is bittersweet and beautiful at the same time. Themes: The themes of this book are the importance of having a role model and knowing that parents will love you no matter what. This soft padded book with its sturdy pages shares a story of a little bear and the love he has for his dad.

Think this book helps to open up discussion (as long as you are aware of students’ home lives) about figures who nurture and care and play with you. Personal Response/ Recommendation: This book was a very enjoyable and reminded me of my childhood with my dad. The perfect story to share at bedtime, this beautiful book celebrates Dads and the love and laughter they bring. It’s nice to see a “dad” portrayed as the nurturer, which is not very common amongst children books (I feel like the general norm tends to portray a mother).
