Uncle Daddy

(2) 4-6 Rivers's father left when the boy was three, but Rivers still has his mother's uncle who moved in and "told me stories, gave me my bath, got me dressed, combed my hair, packed my lunch." When Rivers is nine, Dad comes back. Although the situation is a little calculated, the book takes it in unformulaic directions. Readers will feel a ready empathy, not to mention a wish for an Uncle Daddy of their own.
