In this follow-up to My Dad Is Big and Strong, BUT..., a boy describes a typical Sunday at the zoo with his eccentric father ("I try to explain that it's still too early for ice cream, but Dad rolls around on the ground...red with rage"). Readers will delight in observing this childish grownup, captured in angular, semi-surreal art.

A little boy talks about the difficulty he has getting his father to sleep at night. The reversal of a familiar story line feels fresh as the narrator ascribes classic delay tactics to his "big and strong" dad. The sharp book design and unique line illustrations in a muted palette are as quirky as the story's distinctly childlike point of view.
