(3) K-3 Illustrated by Michael Hays. Realistic paintings document an African-American boy and his dad's day together, during which they have fun cleaning the house, then going out to the park, a movie, and dinner as a reward. Plentiful repetition--"Next we fix, fix, fix the faucets, / squeeze, squeeze, squeeze the soap"--gives this account of nontraditional male bonding a pleasant rhythm.
Reviewer: Christine M. Heppermann
