A little girl
spies all kinds of dads playing with their children:
“A rowing dad
a mowing dad
a snip-snap sewing dad.”
None of these dads
belongs to our narrator — where could her dad be? She keeps looking and the
list of dads grows longer until she spies her own dad at the end of the book.
Stewart’s artwork
is a great match for the rollicking rhythm and rhyming text. Lively
illustrations show families from a variety of cultural backgrounds having fun
together.
This is a new
paperback edition of a picture book favourite, and the companion to I Spy Mum! by the same creative
partnership. Perfect for three to six year olds and a joy to read aloud.
