Children's Book review

My Dad

By Anthony Browne

Published by Doubleday Childrens Books

A young boy proudly describes his father (a big, friendly, unshaven dad, sporting an old dressing gown). His dad can jump over the moon, wrestle with giants, swim like a fish - in fact, in the little boy's eyes, he can do almost anything! Anthony Browne's children's books2 always offer huge possibilities for letting one's imagination run wild. In this deceptively simple picture book, he has used stunning artwork and simple text to create a touching and humorous celebration of the relationship between father and son.
