Today's review is a nod to a special day coming up this weekend—Father's Day!
This one is a fun board book...because it's been awhile since I had one of these on Bookworm for Kids. Plus, this book is a 'lift-the-tie' book, meaning the young listeners will have the chance to lift a tie on every page and see what's underneath. I've always had a soft spot for books with little extras like this.
And it definitely celebrates dads.
Ready to lift a tie with me?

MY TIDBITS
Father's gain a well-earned spotlight, while giving young listeners a chance to discover things on their own.
This books is a celebration of fathers. Every page shows a father and something he does for his kids, but these roles aren't always the traditional ones kids might expect. While Dad does fix things and such, he also does fun things which will make listeners smile...like helping a daughter to do her hair. The scenes are varied and listeners are sure to be familiar with more than just one or two of them.
The pictures are bright and bold, and bring across each scene with love and, sometimes, a bit of humor. The large neckties on the right side can be lifted to discover an item underneath. This item give more than a nod to a wonderful dad and help listeners realize all the things their fathers really do for them. It's a great read-aloud as well as a book to be explored on its own. It definitely is a hit for father figures to read with their own little ones...and possibly gain a hug or two as well.
And here they are...
