What is My Dad is Fantastic about?

A playful rhyming celebration of dads, this sturdy board book presents a father as clever, kind, wise and wonderfully silly. With lively verses and familiar Roald Dahl-style nonsense, readers discover a dad whose smile twinkles, whose ideas are marvellous and whose “whizzpops” make him even more entertaining. Quentin Blake’s energetic illustrations bring the warmth and humour to life, while the simple rhythm makes the book easy for toddlers to enjoy aloud with a parent or carer.
