Books that Fathers and Kids Can Enjoy

Find the perfect Father's Day book that your child can share with dad!

Well, we can't forget Father's Day on June 17th.  

Thought I should post some fun books to share with Dad!  They are a perfect gift idea for the hard-to-buy-for father. Who wouldn't love to sit down on the couch with his little one and read a book about how great dad is, or how Darth Vader and son enjoy the day, or even how to plan a project to build with your handy dad!

I hope these books add some fun and appreciation for our fabulous fathers!

Title:          My Dad, My Hero

This is the perfect Father’s Day book and the dot illustrations are just charming.  Our hero—Dad—doesn’t have super strength (mom opens the jars), he doesn’t have a force field (flying pea shooters can hit his nose), and he can’t lift trains over his head (even the box of trains in the garage provides a significant challenge).

What dad can do is spend time with his son, even when his son eats all the popcorn or beats him for the umpteenth time at Battleship. Fun humor that shows dad is not a superhero but instead a super good dad! An endearing book with good chuckles thrown in!
