Knuffle Bunny Too: A Case of Mistaken Identity

"I love that the dad in this story seems to be the main carer. He takes her to school and he picks her up. He is completely involved in the drama and emotion of the story and he is instrumental in sorting out the problem – I don’t want to give the ending away! The mum is there but it’s the dad that is the active parent. I think this is great. The role of the dad is portrayed as strong and positive. This book really celebrates modern fathers — they are more active and they are more visible. It throws out of the window all those clichés about home life. In this book, the father is the one to solve a highly emotional dilemma. I should point out that it is a very funny book – a case of mistaken identity that requires a midnight exchange of bunnies! If that doesn’t make any sense, all I can say is buy a copy, it is brilliant. It’s an affirming read for modern fathers and daughters. My next choice is My Dad Used To Be So Cool by Keith Negley. What first drew me to this book were the vivid illustrations. Also, that throughout the book you never get a good look at this dad’s face. But you do see his arms and they are covered with tattoos."
