Daddy’s Song
Leslea Newman
Illustrated by Karen Ritz
Picture Book
Ages 2 to 4
Henry Holt, 2007, 0-8050-6975-5
  The last thing a father does for his little girl every night is to sing her a bedtime song. And what he tells her in his song is very simple. He tells her that even if all kinds of peculiar things start to happen in the world, one thing will still stay the same, he will still love her. Even if it starts to rain up instead of down, and even if “cats grow wings and start to fly” he will love her. Why even if “kangaroos bake birthday cakes” and “if elephants ride carousels” his love will never fade.
  Glorious rhyming pairs of impossibilities and wonderful full page illustrations which include the pajama clad child in every picture, make this a picture book which children will love to share with their fathers at bedtime. Warm with the love of the singing father and rich with all kinds of childlike imaginings, this book would make a perfect gift for new fathers.

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.
