My Dad

From the 2000 Hans Christian Andersen MedalistIn an endearing homage to dads everywhere a boy describes -- and exaggerates -- the many accomplishments and feats of his father. Among the traits praised are his enormous talent for singing his near-professional wrestling skills his extreme bravery in the face of danger (he''s not even afraid of the Big Bad Wolf!) and his ability to -- quite literally in Anthony Browne''s world -- eat like a horse. All of the pictures feature the lovable pater in his signature plaid bathrobe adding a further comfy layer to a book whose ultimate message is I love my dad. And you know what? HE LOVES ME! (And he always will.).
