Illustrated by
Ted Rand.
A boy cries, "Let's play rough, Daddy!" and jumps on his father, who responds enthusiastically. When the roughhousing becomes a bit overwhelming, the boy calls a halt, whereupon Daddy stops and offers a hug. Reassured, the boy begins another bout of rowdy play. Wavy lines of type reflect the rambunctious mood, which is further enhanced by uncluttered illustrations.
