Books with title A Father Like That

A boy knows all about fathers. He knows there are little things a father understands, like how to play checkers and when to bend the rules at bedtime. And he knows there are big things a father does, like banishing nightmares and spending special time with his son. Even if he doesn't have a father, a boy can imagine one just like that. LeUyen Pham's tender drawings illustrate Charlotte Zolotow's timeless and timely appreciation of the special bond between fathers and sons.

A wise old cat is going to set the purr...fect pace for a story that takes place in Paws Park. A cast of warm hearted animals with human characteristics leads an adventure of giving and receiving. A series of timely interactions culminates in an unexpected lesson on what's most important. This story is entertaining, engaging, thought provoking and has a mix of action, anticipation, humor and much more. The message is simple and powerful: that giving and receiving can be far reaching. We are all affected by words and actions. Not everything in life goes smoothly and that is okay. Being open to better ways of thinking and passing this idea on can help us grow as good people. Ellie knows!
