The Dictionary of Dads

Poems

 
By Justin Coe

A brilliant and funny debut collection of poems about more than fifty different dads, with witty illustrations.

'He’s my Abracadabra dad
He wows me with his wizardry
Slips secrets up his sleeve
To magic away misery'

Look out for Big Bad Dad and Caveman Dad, laugh at Daddy Disaster and Donkey Dad, feel sorry for Faraway Dad and look forward to Homecoming Dad. Then raise a cheer for Mum-Dad!
