Illustrated by
Margie Moore.
A young squirrel eagerly waits for his father to come home. He passes the time by making a special blue-ribbon award for Dad. Junior also recounts (in rhymes and meter that occasionally stumble) all the special things they do together. The black-pen and watercolor illustrations are full of cozy tones. A punch-out ribbon is the gimmick for Father's Day sales.
