Daddy Long Legs

(3) PS Illustrated by Aurélie Guillerey. Before jalopy-driving Daddy leaves Matthew at kindergarten, the boy asks what will happen if the car breaks down (again): "Then I will come and fetch you in the neighbor's big red tractor." "And if the big red tractor is busy?" So begins this transportation-centered "Hush, Little Baby"–esque valentine. The debonair art captures the whimsy of Daddy's increasingly fanciful claims.
