Inspired when he one day found his father’s old dressing gown and felt instantly close to him, Browne wrote this lovingly illustrated tribute to a child’s pride in his father. It instantly appeals: most children see their parents as superheroes even when their feats of heroism are simple everyday tasks

This is a perfect title for children to share with their dads. With a very minimal text and wonderful full page illustrations, this is a title that will warm the hearts of readers of all ages

The pictures are extraordinary and unforgettable and celebrate dads in a way few books do

For sheer illustrative wit, Anthony Browne is unsurpassed

Delightfully simple but visually impish

Anthony Browne is a sublime master of the visual pun

The Magritte of the pre-schoolers, Browne's illustrations are among the most distinctive and surreal of any children's artist. A beautiful tribute to a very special dad in a dressing gown

A celebration of all things "dad" from the quirky to the moving

It's humorous and charming. Dads and kids alike will love it
