What Dads Can't Do

32 pp. | Simon | May, 2000 | Trade ISBN 0-689-82620-6 $$14.00
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Doug Cushman. The point of view never waivers as the young, green, reptilian narrator enumerates all the things dads--and especially the green reptilian one pictured--can never do. Dads "can't cross the street without holding hands," they "lose at checkers and cards," and "Dads can push, but they can't swing." However, the airy watercolors with pen- and-ink provide a slightly different perspective. All dads should be so incompetent!
