About this ebook
Where did Dad learn how to be the best father ever? At Dad School, of course!
In this adorable kid’s-eye view of what would happen if Dad went to school, a little boy imagines a place where all dads learn their amazing skills, like giving piggyback rides and making giant sandwiches for lunch. With warm, silly illustrations and a fun role-reversal story in which dads act like kids, young readers will love imagining what would happen if their own dads went to Dad School.
And don’t forget Mom: Look for the companion book, Mom School!
"An amusing perspective on fatherhood."—Booklist
"Sweetly funny and full of paternal devotion."—Publishers Weekly
"A likable and loving tribute to dads . . . Children will be swept along by Burris’s upbeat, endearing illustrations."—School Library Journal
