From start to finish, the titular father leads his alligator kids through a stellar, action-packed day: pancakes, shopping, park visit, reading, pillow forts, dress-up, bath time, and "one more story" before bedtime. Acrylic paintings with heavy shadowing capture the happy reptile family's high-energy hijinks; with a spare, lyrical text, the book celebrates fathers and the many small moments that collectively create childhood experiences.
