I Love You Dino-Daddy

Author: Mark Sperring Illustrator: Sam Lloyd

Publisher: Bloomsbury

Dino-Daddy is lots of fun: he does useful things like blowing up balloons, taking his little ones to the park, operating the toy crane and - perhaps the most fun of all - being a rough-and-tumble tickling machine.

This celebration of all the fun that fathers have with their little ones could also apply to mum, of course, but it's a nice way to tell Dad just how much he's loved.

This sweet picture book is perfect for toddlers and pre-schoolers to share with Dad (or Mum); its rhyming text and big, vibrant colours jump off the page and will encourage re-reading again and again.

A Brave Bear

Author: Sean Taylor Illustrator: Emily Hughes

A book for families, for dads and for illustration fans, this is in the same territory as the phenomenally successful Guess How Much I Love You, but with a subtler sentimentality that might appeal to a new generation of parents.
