About this title

About the Author:

On his business card, right under Warren Hanson's name, it says "illustrator, author, amateur." As an amateur, he goes back to the word's Latin root, which means "someone who does something purely for the love of doing it." Warren Hanson love what he does. And it shows.

From School Library Journal:

K-Gr 1-In rhyming text, a young woman looks back over the years to the special reading times she shared with her father. As a youngster, she eagerly awaited the time of day when she was able to cuddle in his lap and hear a bedtime story. Over time, their selections moved from The Cat in the Hat to Wind in the Willows and stories of "wizards and rings." The two continue sharing and discussing their reading into her adulthood; it's clearly a bond that unites them. Late in the man's life, his daughter reads to her children and also to him, finishing one night with Psalm 23. Although the story is touching, the sentiment will appeal primarily to adults. A full-page, pen-and-ink illustration with touches of color faces each page of text. Unfortunately, the artwork fails to convey the emotional tone of the book.-Karen Scott, Valley Intermediate School, Pelham, AL
