My Dad Is Big And Strong, BUT...: A Bedtime Story by Coralie Saudo, Claudia Zoe Bedrick, Kris Di Giacomo

5.0

Translated from the French, this picture book takes the traditional bedtime story and turns it upside down. Every night it’s the same thing, Dad does not want to go to bed. The boy tries to get his father to bed nicely by using logic, but his dad just gets wilder and wilder. The boy refuses to chase after him, instead offering a quiet story together. That always works, and the two of them sit together in a chair: the father on the boy’s small lap. Two stories later, and the boy finally has his father tucked into bed, but the process is not done yet. The boy can’t head to his own bed yet or his father will ask to sleep with him. And though his father may be big and strong, he’s also afraid of the dark.
