Bigger than Daddy

(3) PS Illustrated by Elliot Kreloff. Childlike illustrations portray a father and son's day, during which they carry on an affectionate dialogue about how the boy wishes he were bigger, then reverse roles to play "Let's pretend." The gentle story ends with a soothing bedtime routine: "If you were [as big as] a whale...how could I dry you off...comb your hair...tuck you in...and kiss you good night."
