Me and My Dad

Product Information

It's one of those sentimental bedtime reads that celebrate the bond between parent and child--the one thing standing out about this one being that it's focused on dad, instead of the more common "mommy" books. It was inspired by moving back to the area where I grew up and seeing the same streets, parks and buildings I had seen every day as a boy. Robin Shaw is an award-winning animator and illustrator known for his beautifully lyrical hand-drawn work.

This book celebrates so many things - the love of a dad and child, the excitement generated by the imagination.

introduces one lucky cub: his daddy bear is a bit goofy (he likes to play in the rain), confidently protective (his thick coat makes a good hiding place during a thunderstorm), always ready for adventure (whether it's swimming in the river or exploring the forests) and a great storyteller. This could be a dad, it could be a mom, it could be a sibling, it could be a grandparent, it could be the lady down the street, it could be a friend in the class. This poem about a bear cub and the father who loves him enough to treat him to the good things life can offer is bittersweet and beautiful at the same time. My dad is the best/ daddy bear there could be," reads the text, as the young ursine narrator and his father cuddle under a blanket. Treat Boutique started in 2014, after finding it difficult to find elegant items, either for myself or friends, without trawling the high street or looking online and being overloaded.There are snapping crocodiles, stomping dinosaurs, sleeping princesses and golden treasure - but that's not even the best bit. Personal Response/ Recommendation: This book was a very enjoyable and reminded me of my childhood with my dad.

It showcases their close relationship from the beginning when the dad wakes his son up until bedtime when he tells him stories to fall asleep. Being with Dad is so much fun, from trips to the farm and learning to swim, to hunting for bugs and sharing warm cuddles.

He is also great at conveying the rabbit-in-the-headlights psychological response of a pre-teen boy who cares about his family but doesn’t know how to express his emotions. It's just a pity we have to wait a year or so before he can read it to our son when he can fully understand it. Together with his best friends, Bell and Seb, Archie sets off on a heartwarming and unforgettable journey to try and fix his family, even if he has to break a few rules to do it. Ashley is obsessed with her social standing at her own school, devastated by her dad moving out because he's gay.

I've read it plenty of times already to my kids and like to change and add parts to see if they're paying attention. Nothing spectacular or really original here, but it's sweet to see such a cuddly daddy-focused book and the illustrations made me smile. This soft padded book with its sturdy pages shares a story of a little bear and the love he has for his dad.If you need help choosing your baby essentials, book a virtual appointment with our team for demonstrations and expert advice.
