Let us rejoice, for two creators we adore here at Readings have come together to bring us a heartfelt celebration of the many forms of fatherhood. Deborah Frenkel’s writing is effortlessly rhythmic and is an absolute joy to read aloud. It’s perfectly accompanied by Daniel Gray-Barnett’s illustrations, which are explosions of colour and full of humorous images to make you giggle.

The Thing About Dads is a love letter to dads – the snorers, the bad-joke tellers, the monster tacklers, and the big huggers – for great dads never fail to make an average day extraordinary. If you haven’t realised, Father’s Day is fast approaching! If you’re looking for a bookish gift for the father figure in your life, look no further! Perfect for all ages.
