Tad and Dad by David Ezra Stein - ESSENTIAL

Stein, David Ezra Tad and Dad. Penguin Young Readers Group, 2015. $16.99.Picture Book. Content: G.

Tad and his dad are very close. Tad wants to be just like his dad and spends all of his time with his dad. When Dad tucks Tad in one night, Tad lasts only a few minutes before his climbs into bed with his dad. "Why are you in my bed? said Dad. "So you won't miss me," I said. As Tad grows, Dad sleeps less and less because Tad kicks and keeps Dad awake. When Dad admits he wants to sleep alone, Tad sleeps in his own bed that night. Then a very surprising thing happens, Dad can't sleep!

This is a heartwarming tale of a father and son who love each other deeply. This would be a great gift for Father's Day. The story is heartwarming and sentimental. The illustrations are bold and fun. We loved this book!
