A little boy has decided that today is going to be his dad's "special day." Today he is going to do all the "Dad stuff" for a change. There is one slight problem to this wonderful gift, and that is that the little boy is rather small to do many of his dad's jobs. When he pours the milk into the cereal bowels more milk ends up on the table and on the floor than in the bowls. Then the little boy decides that he is going to take out the garbage and the result is a dreadful mess on the kitchen floor.
Despite any number of messes and mishaps the little boy is determined to do everything for his dad including painting the walls of the house, giving his dad piggy back rides, cutting the grass, and shuffling the cards when they play "go Fish."
Eventually the little boy accepts that just maybe he still has "some things to learn" but there is one thing that the little boy can do just as well as his daddy.
This funny, sweet picture book with its message of the love that a little boy feels for his father is perfect for Father's day and all those other daddy days in the year.

Action Alert
Reading is Fundamental (RIF) needs your help. The President's proposed fiscal year 2009 budget released in February eliminates the Inexpensive Book Distribution Program, which is the RIF Book Distribution Program. Unless Congress reinstates funding for this program, RIF will be unable to distribute 16 million books annually to the nation's youngest and most at-risk children. RIF serves 4.6 million children. Please click on the link below to visit the RIF Action Alert page so you can make your voice heard and support their efforts.
