I like this cute story! The illustrations are great. This book would have been perfect for 5 year old me. I was terrified that I would never be picked up from school so I made my mom sit there - and I would make sure she was still there every five minutes. Matthew has thoughts about what if his dad's car breaks down, how will he come pick him up. Great for the little ones starting school!

Een OK boek over een kindje dat zeker wilt weten dat papa wel hem op komt halen, want tja, de auto doet het niet! Ik vond het hilarisch om te zien wat voor ideeën vader had van een tractor tot een draak. Vader komt dus echt wel langs! Ik vond het enige nadeel aan het boek dat de jongen steeds weer papa tegen sprak en steeds weer iets had tegen het plannetje van vader. Stel dat de konijntjes naar oma zijn. Stel dat de draak jaagt... Het was de eerste keer nog leuk, maar ik vond het op een gegeven moment gewoon sneu voor vaders die gewoon lief en aardig probeerde te zijn.
Het einde was wel leuk.
De illustraties waren het beste deel van het boek en daar genoot ik dan ook heel erg van.

An anxious child wonders how his dad will pick him up from daycare if the car breaks down. The dad comes up with one imaginative solution after another, but the child has many questions. This book is sweet and shows just how much the dad loves his child. This would make for very good bonding time with dad.

Adorable read about how no matter what, a father will be there to pick his son up from school. Funny illustrations with bright colors.

Adorable picture book about a father reassuring his child that he will be back to pick him up from kindergarten no matter what obstacles may lay in his path. Both pictures and words make this an engaging read.

A lovely ode to daddy with bright, design-forward illustrations

A love letter to fathers. Would avoid for kids who don't have fathers or father figures in their lives. This father is a very specific type of father. (Middle-class, white-collar)
The illustrations are very nice, with the exception of the character design of the father, who looks more like a villain than a loving father. Maybe this was intended? I mean, we're not supposed to judge by appearances, right? Not even cartoons... with pointy noses and too-small feet...

What a wonderful story. Remember the old nursery song about a diamond ring and a mocking bird? Well this is a newer, if similar story. But instead of buying things, it's about always being there. I absolutely loved it. The illustrations were icing on this cake. Both colorful and fun, but simplistic in the best way.

This is the type of book where you end up with like a rube Goldberg type of chain of events. In this case they were hypothetical. It was an enjoyable book and the illustrations were done in a really fun style.
