Product Description
Not only does Corey's father make the best spaghetti, but he also dresses up as Bathman and acts like a silly dog with pajama legs for ears. 'Hines's simple pictures and easygoing text capture all three characters' personalities, as well as the warmth of

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic   April 8, 2008
Cookiesmart (Missouri USA)
Shortly: This is one of my son's favourite books and has been since he was only one and a half years old. Fun, silly, and with a positive emphasis on the father/son relationship, this book really shines.


5 out of 5 stars Ideal for Showing Cooperation and Challenging Traditional Gender Roles   May 18, 2007
Katie - Mom and Wannabe Children's Book Author (South Bend, Indiana USA)
My 10 month old adores this book, and both my husband and I love reading it to him. He grins when Daddy transforms into Bathman or a doggie with pajama-bottom ears. He also loves when Daddy pretends Corey is a sack of potatoes.

The adults love it because it shows a family working together to get everything done and a child being nurtured and cared for by both mother and father; Daddy is really the star of the book. We also like the 1,2,3 that is used throughout the story. Its repetition provides a beautiful rhythm to the book.



5 out of 5 stars Great Father / Son Story   June 13, 2006
BookLovingMama (San Diego, CA)
What a wonderful book to share with your son and his father. This book may seem a bit outdated with its seventies style artwork, but the timeless tale is perfect for the modern day stay-at-home dad and the wonderful family experience of living in the moment and making everyday activities such as bathtime, washing dishes and making dinner lively, memorable events to be shared over and again. Very refreshing.


5 out of 5 stars Perfect preschool book   September 28, 2003
The book is unique in that it shows a family working cooperatively and also having fun. Daddy shops and cooks, and Mommy helps clean up. Both enjoy a story and a kiss good night with their son. My 4 year old boy has read this so many times, but still chuckles when the playful Daddy pretends Corey is a sack of potatoes at the store to buy and plays a dog with Corey's pj bottoms on his head. For any family where Mom and Dad do family chores equally, it is a pleasant relief from so many stories showing Mom doing the cooking and cleaning plus has the added bonus of being a very funny read.


3 out of 5 stars Cute   January 16, 2003
A little long winded...more for pre-schoolers than for toddlers...but a good spin on the "traditional" family roles.
