A Perfect Father's Day: A Father's Day Gift Book from Kids

by Eve Bunting

Book Overview

"I'm taking you out for Father's Day," Susie tells Dad. "First we'll go for lunch." "Good," Dad says. "May I drive?" "Certainly," Susie says. She chooses the restaurant, and pretty soon Dad can see that she's filled this special day with treats--treats for both of them! When they get back home, Mom's final surprise (that isn't really a surprise at all) is a perfect ending for the perfect day.

Customer Reviews

Charming and funny

I love this book! I always check books out of the library first to see if they meet my criteria for reading to my 4 y o daughter, and very few of them I end up buying- this one I will be buying. A spunky girl in shorts and a t-shirt plans and executes a day-long outdoor active adventure. The illustrations are hilarious - you can read the mind of the cat and the dad, who are peacefully relaxing until the energetic child arrives. I love how the dad acts in this book- very patient and loving, just BEING with his daughter, and I love his floral shirt! It just doesn't get any better than this. Thank you Eve Bunting and Susan Meddaugh!

The perfect book for the perfect day.

I gave this book to my father for father's day. It tells the charming story of a young girl and the relationship she has with her father. She wants to spend Father's Day with her Dad doing all the things he loves. Instead they do the things she loves to do and like every good Dad he goes along and pretends they are his favorite things too. It seems like he's thinking, "without her I wouldn't be celebrating this day". Any father would love to read this book to his child and cherish it as a gift.
