(3) K-3 Illustrated by Babette Cole. Father and daughter ponder what it would be like if they switched roles. Ultimately, as Dad envisions his day with "no washing, no cooking, no driving, no cleaning!" Daisy decides, "I think I'd rather still be me!" Although it's a switcheroo that's been done before in picture books, this volume's lively verse and watercolor caricatures do well by the funny premise.
