review 1: This review was written for you by my almost five-year-old daughter. M: Mom, this book is so good. Can we read it to Daddy? me: Sure! What makes it so good?M: The dad doesn't want to go to bed, and he says all the things I usually say.me: What's the best part?M: when the dad sits on the boy's lap for a story and then begs for another story.me: That was funny. Do you want Dad to sit on your lap?M: No, Mama. He would squish me like a bug. me: Is there anything else you want to say about this book?M: I like it. It's kind of like How to Babysit a Grandpa. Have you read that book?me: I haven't. Maybe we can check that one out from the library when we take this one back. M: My teacher read it to me on Grandparents' Day. It was funny. Grandpa laughed. me: ... more Anything else you want to say about the dad book?M: It's very funny. Can we read more of The Secret Garden now? me: Sure, Sweetie. (What can I say? She loves to read!)
review 2: This book is a simple but clever twist on tradition, as a small boy tries to convince his father to go to bed on time. The role reversals are all simple and predictable, but work nicely in this simple book, translated from French.From a desire for more bedtime stories to a question of whether it's safe to sleep in the dark, the idea that dads are people too is an important one. There is a current trend to have more fathers in picture books, and this is a good thing. less
