Dad and Pop: An Ode to Fathers & Stepfathers

40 pp. | Candlewick | April, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-3379-0 $15.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Paul Meisel. A girl lists the differences between her father and stepfather ("Pop takes pictures. Dad takes naps") but concludes by noting their common ground: "They both love me!" This reassuring book will appeal to a wide audience beyond those readers who share the narrator's domestic situation. Meisel's illustrations portray the two dads' divergent looks and sensibilities.
