With Dad, It's like That

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Magali Le Huche. Left in charge, a father does his best with an unfamiliar routine as his daughter complains: "that's not how Mom does it. With Mom, the table is always set just right. And she makes the potatoes extra creamy." The story's implied parental dynamic veers toward stereotype, but Dad's patience and love is evidenced on every page in the straightforward text and amusing illustrations.
