If most Dads are like my husband then they will jump at the chance to read with their children to steal an extra cuddle. It is really lovely for children to have a special book that they share with their dads.
Below is a list of beautiful books I have recently encountered that celebrate the special roles dads play in families. Each of them would make meaningful Fathers’ Day gifts.

This book has many endearing qualities that make it a cute gift for a baby or toddler to give to their daddy. It is a ‘lift-the-flap’ book, and what toddler doesn’t like to lift flaps? The story includes everyday activities that children undertake with their dads, such as going to the park and having cuddles. The illustrations are bold and colourful, and there is even a little space at the back of the book where children can paste a photo of their own dad.

I couldn’t resist including ‘Kisses for Daddy’ on this list. My daughter gave a copy of this book to her dad for his last birthday. It is their special book that only they are allowed to share together. Personally, I’m a bit jealous because I think it is beautiful. I have to sneak looks at it when no-one is looking. My husband particularly likes the detailed and life-like illustrations. My daughter enjoys searching for the cleverly hidden animals that can be found on each page. The story is a lovely for bedtime.

by Rachael Flynn and Craig Smith
(Puffin Books).
Suitable for children aged 3-7.
Included in this story are funny moments that a child shares with his dad. What I really like about this book is the way that Rachael Flynn has invited the reader to become part of the story by posing questions on each page. This book is a great stimulus for sharing your own special family moments.

by Matt Zurbo and Dean Gorissen
(Lothian Children’s Books, 2009).
Suitable for children aged 5+.
This book is perfect for dads to share with their sons. It is humorous and fun, with bold and extravagant caricature-style illustrations. The story is indicative of many father-son relationships. The young narrator of the story is his father’s number-one fan. He exudes pride and admiration for his father. Both emotions many boys would feel towards their fathers. This book achieved a place on the 2010 CBCA Book of the Year Notable List.

by Katrina Germein and Tom Jellett
(Black Dog Books, 2010).
Suitable for children aged 7+.
Picture books are intended to be enjoyed by children and adults alike. This is certainly the case for ‘My Dad Thinks he’s Funny’. Katrina Germein pays tribute to the 'Dadism': when dads play on words to create a clever gag. Fathers, I’m sure, will definitely enjoy reading this book because all dads love their own jokes. This is a great read for Fathers’ Day which lends itself to a family discussion around the breakfast table, laughing at your own dad’s gags. I know what I’m getting my dad this Father’s Day.
