A Celebration of Dads and Kids

This collection offers a loving tribute to fathers and their special magic with children. Some of the themes are bittersweet (separation, growing up), but they are all treated with a straightforward honesty that touches the heart. There's plenty of whimsy, too, from "daddy hugs" to the dad who's a cool dude. Dads and kids alike will love this book.

Poetry that will pull at your heart strings.

In my mind good poetry is language that paints a vivid picture. "Daddy Poems" not only paints vivid pictures but will pull at your heart strings as well. This book brought tears of emotion to my eyes remembering my Father, and my children. Worth every pennie. Review written by a male, first grade teacher, and father.

The Perfect Father's Day Gift

This selection of poems for the young is a delightful collage.From whisker scratches (Porcupine Pa) to baseball gloves (FirstBaseball Glove) to nighttime (Bedtime Ritual), these poems ring true for all fathers who deserve to be called "Daddy." Casilla's multicultural illustrations are a perfect match for Micklos' collection.
