Daddy's Little Girl

By Horace Gerlach and Bobby Burke

Book Overview

You're the end of the rainbow, my pot of gold, You're daddy's little girl, to have and to hold . . . The song "Daddy's Little Girl" has been a favorite of fathers and daughters -- and mothers, too -- for more than fifty years. In this first ever picture-book version, an adoring rabbit daddy and his little bunny bring the moving lyrics to life as they share special moments that demonstrate the special bond reserved for daddies and their little girls. The full lyrics and music are included for the whole family to enjoy together. "Daddy's Little Girl" was written by Bobby Burke and Horace Gerlach in 1949. It was an instant hit, and has gone on to become a staple of wedding reception playlists for the dance shared by a bride and her father. This and a companion song, "Daddy's Little Boy," written by Billy Collins in 1950, have been recorded by many artists, notably by the Mills Brothers, and are considered American standards.

Daddy's Little Girl

I had just gotten back from a family Thanksgiving with my nephew. Seeing him interact ith his daughter brought back memories of my own childhood along with the song. If ever there was a story that truly expressed the love between a daughter and her dad this is it. It's a good nighttime read as well as a good reminder that children are a gift from above. Thank heaven for little girls and the fathers that get the chance to be a part of their lives and form the woman one day they'll be.

Book Review

I really loved this book, especially considering as a very young child my mother sang this to me over and over while my father was stationed overseas during the Korean conflict. The words are so dear and the pictures are beautiful.

So sweet

This book is really sweet! I'm sure my husband and baby girl will enjoy reading it together for many years.

Super-fast shipping.. very cute

I bought this for my husband as we are expecting and he liked it very much

Very Sweet Story and Song

I purchased this book for my 2 year old daughter to give her Daddy on Father's Day along with 2 other "Daddy" themed books. This one was very sweet and the song is cute too! I am sure it will be one of their favorites in the years to come!
