Up on Daddy’s Shoulders

Matt Berry

Illustrated by Lucy Corvino

Picture Book

Infants to age 5

Scholastic, 2006, 0-439-67045-4

  When a little boy is on his father’s shoulders is the “happiest kid in the world” because he is taller than his brother, he can touch the moon and the stars, he can “fly like a bird on a breeze,” and he can touch the very tops of the trees. When he is on his daddy’s shoulders he is tall, strong, safe, and loved.

  With simple but perfectly chosen words, Matt Berry captures the close bond that a father and son share. Each rhythmic section conjures up images that children of all ages will be able to identify with and appreciate.
