Dads

Margie decided to read books with dad, as a main character or father and child scenario stories to the Thursday story time group. I probably will do this theme later on this month since the library has been closed for the past two Mondays. On the 14th is our annual ice cream social which I am anticipating a bigger crowd than last year. I did a Father's Day blog entry last year so this may add to the list of books I previously picked out.

Dads, fathers as the main character in the story or stories between father and child/children:

• Froggy's Day with Dad by Jonathan London
• Leo the Late Bloomer byRobert Krauss
• Kevin and his Dad by Irene Smalsl
  
• Benny Bakes a Cake by Eve Rice
  
• I Love my Daddy by Sebastien Braun
  
• My Dad by Anthony Browne
  
• On Our Way Home by Sebastien Braun
  
• Oh, Daddy by Bob Shea
  
• You Can Do Anything Daddy by Michael Rex
  
• Dad & Pop by Kelly Bennett
