Review:
Two kids, a brother and
sister, prepare to surprise their dad for his special day, and there are a few throughout
the year. They spend the day getting ready and making sure he is completely
surprised. It’s a good idea to look innocent, so practice in the mirror. Be
sure to make presents, get his toothbrush ready and even organize his shoes.
Making a special cake with all of his favorite foods like stinky cheese and
smoked oysters is fun too. When the special day arrives, everyone must hide and
then shout surprise!
This lovely story about
dads is colorfully illustrated with humor and plenty of notes and ideas for
kids. Parents and caregivers can use this as a read-a-loud so kids can interact
and share their own surprise stories. Simple sentence structure makes this a
perfect book for beginners.
