To all of you fathers (or fathers-to-be) out there, I wish
you the happiest of Father’s Days! There’s nothing quite like the bond between
parent and child. So I’m going to take a moment to stress the importance of
reading to your young children. Reading aloud to your child not only helps
improve their language skills, but it also provides your child with one-on-one
attention from their parents. I know that some of my favorite childhood
memories are of my twin brother and I, lying on either side of my dad while he
read us Harry Potter. So with that in mind, let’s celebrate the special bond
between fathers and their children with some father themed picture books.
Little Jumbo’s dad is having a rough day, and he just can’t
seem to figure out why. He decides take matters into his own hands to cheer his
dad up with some of his favorite things. Turns out Little Jumbo’s favorite
things just might be his father’s favorite things as well.
This delightful picture book features classic movie monsters
and their young sons as they go about their days and get ready for bed. Turns
out that monster dads and human dads have one thing in common; they both love their
children.
Who doesn’t enjoy a good dad joke? Well this book is full of
them! I would recommend all new dads check it out, if only to brush up on their
material.
All week long a young boy looks forward to Friday, because
Friday is the day he and his dad go on their special trip. This book goes to
show that whether it’s a walk through town or breakfast at the diner, any time
with dad is special.
There’s not much better than a walk in the park with dad. In
this story a young girl and her father spend the day in the park, and as they
walk he asks her all sorts of questions. It may have made me a little misty.
Thunder Boy Jr. doesn’t like that he and his father share a
name. He loves his father dearly, but wants to be known for who he is, not who
his father is.
