Dad and Me

(3) K-3 Space-obsessed narrator Tommy and his dad plan to watch the story of America's first space walk on the news together. When Dad returns from work crabby, Tommy goes to great lengths to secure his attention. The surreal watercolor illustrations (work-preoccupied Dad drives his car into the house) and fantastical text capture perfectly Tommy's inner turmoil.
