Book Reviews of One Dad, Two Dads, Brown Dad, Blue Dads
Book Review: Please... not the daddy book AGAIN!!
Summary: 4 Stars
Sorry for the title... I am SO SICK of this book! Why am I so sick of it? Because it is my son's FAVORITE book. Every night, every day, every time he wants a book, he wants this one. He has several books he likes, but the daddy book is by far his favorite. We bought it because he does not have a dad (we are a two mom family), but wanted to teach him about dads. For a long time, he could not comprehend that there was no mommy in the story. Once he got past that hurdle, he fell in love with it. I can recite this book in my sleep, and probably in another language if I tried.
The book itself is... predictable and lame. The rhyming is cutesy, but tries too hard (especially the very last page). The story is fine, more about the dads being blue than about their being two dads. I did like that the little girl was not surprised at all by the fact that Lou had two dads, just by the fact that his dads were both blue (and, really, what are the odds?).
This book is really ideal for the 2-3 year old set. Older than that would be bored by the rhyming and the pictures are not all that engaging for the younger crowd. But for my son, it is all a book can and should be. I just wish he would move on!
