Illustrated by
Jared Chapman.
Take it from these two siblings: wishing that an occasionally "grouchy, bossy" dad will become someone else can backfire ("Be glad your dad is not a DUNG BEETLE, because he would pile poop in your room," etc.). Illustrations showing Dad as the various animals spotlight the hilarious buyer's remorse on the siblings' faces inspired by the imagined animals' (mis)behaviors. Related animal facts appended.
