My Dad Is the Best

Coming April 22, 2025. Pre-order today!

By: Fran Pintadera / Illustrated by: Joan Turu

Well, MY dad can do THIS . . .

Two boys try to one-up each other about their strong dads. One says his dad can pick up a truck filled with elephants. Oh, yeah? Well, the OTHER boy's dad can do the same, but with PREGNANT elephants!

When all this business with truckloads of elephants goes a little too far, both kids realize that something special is happening between their dads—and that a friendly competition has turned out to be the perfect meet-cute. 

The perfect book for any kid who just knows that THEIR parent is the BEST!
