Daddies.

They can be funny

and lovable

and really, really silly.

Oh, Daddy!

A young hippo's father doesn't know how to get dressed, or get in the car, or even eat carrots. What would he do without someone to show him how to do everything right? Rising picture book talent Bob Shea has written a sweetly funny story about daddies and their kids-and how much they depend on each other-perfect for Father's Day.

Product description

Review

“The gentle humor evident in the contrasts between text and pictures, as well as the scenes of the father doing things outrageously wrong, will keep kids entertained. This will work equally well in storytimes or one-on-one.” -- School Library Journal (starred review)

“A breath of fresh air.” -- Kirkus Reviews

“His amiable pair accomplishes necessary tasks and goof around, too-busy parents will want to try this formula of patience plus humor.” -- Publishers Weekly

“This stylistically simple and undeniably hip book is sure to captivate the under-five set.” -- Booklist --This text refers to the hardcover edition.

You know that PBS Kids spot where the pig runs around and eats things that begin with the letter "p"? Bob made that! He made a bunch of other animations for PBS Kids and helped them develop a national literacy campaign.

He has met Al Roker and Fonzie.

His stories, artwork and characters have also appeared on Nick Jr. and Noggin. He was even on Noggin, reading one of his books to Ryan, his little boy.

Bob likes to speak in the third person.

Bob has written several children's books, including New Socks, Big Plans, which was illustrated by Lane Smith, Dinosaur vs. Bedtime, Race You To Bed, and Oh Daddy.

Dinosaur vs. Bedtime was one of Amazon's Top 10 Picture Books of the year, and a Horn Book Magazine best of 2008.

He lives in Connecticut with his wife Colleen and his son, Ryan. He and Colleen own Perfectly Nice, a graphic design studio.

Bob enjoys cake.

I bought this book for my four year old granddaughter. To start off with she was not interested in having it read to her but after a bit of perseverance her Daddy read it to her and she loves it.

Son and Husband Love this book (I'm all "meh")

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 27, 2013

Verified Purchase

My son and husband love reading this book together. The pictures are really cute and the story is really cute. I'm not sure why, but I still just feel sort of "meh" about it. So I'm glad my little one is more likely to ask his Daddy to read it with him. My husband especially likes to act out the last part (where he gets shown how to give a big hug). I love watching them read it together. We initially got it from the library, but after the due date arrived and we could no longer renew it, I bought our own copy. It does come with a dust cover, which I stashed away in the office so that it doesn't become destroyed, since I think we'll be keeping this one for sentimental reasons after he stops reading it.

Cute story, hope you like tape

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 30, 2019

Verified Purchase

The story is completely adorable. I bought it as a special book for my husband to read to our kids and our 4 year old can't get enough of it. Bob Shea is always fantastic.
The bad news is that the used copy that was listed as being in good condition is literally covered in tape. I'd call it fair condition - there's a rip on nearly every page and putting tape on a beat up library copy doesn't magically transform it from fair to good.

Perfect book for dads to read

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 12, 2010

Verified Purchase

I originally got this book at the library for my 3 year old son. He loved reading it so much with his dad that we decided to purchase it for our personal library. I like Bob Shea's style- he also wrote Dinosaur vs. Bedtime. Very cute!

Kids love it!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 28, 2013

Story time is always something my kids (girl age 4, boy age 2) want me to do and I wanted a way to get Daddy involved too. They both love this book & ask Daddy to read it several times a week. Shipping was fairly quick and it came in perfect condition.
