Wake up, Dad! We've got a big day ahead!
Frankie and her little sister, Violet, are excited to be out and about with Dad! From pancakes to puppies to a super-duper surprise, the order of the day is F-U-N.
The gifted actress, author, and mother Brooke Shields pairs with the delightful Cori Doerrfeld for this joyful book about dads and daughters and the love they share.
The family from Welcome to Your World, Baby return in a similarly cheerful companion book. The two sisters (the younger one is now a toddler) spend an active day with their dad cavorting in the park with their dog, playing hopscotch and having a tea party. Self-assured older sister Frankie narrates: "When Violet goes down for a nap (she still naps, but I don't have to anymore), Dad and I sit on the couch and watch basketball." The plot is light, but readers should appreciate the feel-good message. Ages 3-8. (May)Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

September 01, 2009: This is just one of those books that makes you feel good. A really nice story. Fathers and daughters have a special bond and this book captures the sentments perfectly. If you have little girls, get this book! And dads, read it, too (it'll make you all mushy inside).
I Also Recommend: Welcome to Your World, Baby, Ladybug Baby Bug, Welcome to Your World, Baby.

July 11, 2009: I ordered this for my husband for Father's Day. We have 2 little girls & he is the best dad ever. It was fun for him to read this with the girls. The illustrations are adorable & the story line is perfect for a 3 yr. old (& her 4 month old sister). Loved it!!!
