If I Were Your Father - Hardcover
DADDY, HOW DID YOU LEARN TO BE A FATHER? a child wonders. DID YOU GO TO SCHOOL?
Yes, But no one taught me THAT, says his father with a smile.
WELL, I COULD TEACH YOU, DADDY, says his son. IF I WERE YOUR FATHER, I'D LET YOU SHAVE ME WITH WHIPPED CREAM.... I'D TAKE YOU FISHING ON A SCHOOL DAY... AND WED GO HUNTING FOR BURIED TREASURE!
In this warm and humorous conversation, a little boy offers his own fantastic vision of what a father might do. But soon he begins to discover a TRUE treasure -- his father's love and encouragement, always ready and waiting, right by his side.

Review:
Kids always have lots of ideas about what makes a good parent, and the little boy in If I Were Your Father is no exception. One day, he fantasizes about what he would do if he was the dad.
About the Author:
If I were your father, I'd take you fishing on a school day.Margaret Park Bridges and Canadian illustrator Kady MacDonald Denton, the talented team behind If I Were Your Mother, create a whimsical, affectionate dialogue between a father and his son. If the boy were the dad, he would let his son brush his teeth with cake frosting, push all the buttons in the office elevator, and hunt for buried treasure! And the best part is that the dad never once says, "Sure you would!" Denton's Maurice Sendak-style illustrations are as winning as ever, and this sweet picture book, with its father-son flights of fancy, is tangibly tender. (Ages 3 and older)
Could we keep the fish in our little swimming pool?
No. We'd throw them back so their families wouldn't worry.
Margaret Park Bridges is the author of the children's book, Will You Take Care of Me?
