(4) K-3 Illustrated by Seymour Chwast. In a paean to super daddies everywhere, a boy (portrayed as a dog) reveals the many ways that his father makes their time together both fun and special. Spinelli's poetic text honors fathers in a warm and childlike manner without becoming overly sentimental. Illustrations employ a bright palette with child appeal but may have been more effective with human characters.
