Product Description
Welcome published The Little Big Book For Moms in April 2000. Now in its fourth printing (150,000 copies in total), it has been a bestseller for everyone. For Spring 2001, there will be a new Little Big Book filled with stories, poetry, activities, recipes, and songs: The Little Big Book For Dads. All the selections are made with a dad, not a mom, in mind. There are outdoor activities and jokes, even tongue twisters and riddles. Kids can learn to juggle with marshmallows, make one-eyed sailors for breakfast, create electricity with balloons and identify insects, birds, leaves, and stars. With text by writers as diverse, as funny, and as profound as Bill Cosby and Gordon Lightfoot, Shel Silverstein and Kenny Loggins, Ogden Nash and Dr. Seuss, and illustrated throughout with early twentieth-century art from artists including Jessie Willcox Smith, Randolph Caldecott, and Kate Greenaway, this 352-page charm of a book is something special and sweet for dad to share with his little ones.
