Douglas Wood is the author of A Quiet Place as well as the New York Times bestselling Can’t Do series. His books Old Turtle and Old Turtle and the Broken Truth were both international bestsellers. He lives in a cabin in the woods of Minnesota. A studied naturalist, Douglas shares his knowledge of nature as a wilderness guide. Visit him at DouglasWood.com.
Jennifer A. Bell is an illustrator whose work can be found on greeting cards, in magazines, and in over a dozen children’s books. She lives with her husband, son, and cranky cat in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Using a variety of shared experiences and cute animal characters, Wood (Old Turtle and the Broken Truth, 2003) shows how dads communicate love beyond words. Spanning morning to evening, the scenarios in the picture book include playful times (a game of “here-comes-the-tickle-bug!”) and reading times (“reading you your favorite story, / with voices for all the characters. / Again. / And again”) and singing times (“‘You Are My Sunshine’ for the three hundred and sixty-ninth time in one day”). All ends sweetly as daddy bear tucks his little one into bed and expresses his love “in the plain old ordinary way,” which is by simply saying, “I love you.” Charming color illustrations with cartoonish, evocative, and whimsical touches portray anthropomorphized rabbits, pigs, elephants, and more enjoying familiar activities, including a pancake breakfast and kite flying. This affectionate portrayal of dad-child relationships depicts how everyday moments and one-on-one time can be special. Great for bedtime sharing. Preschool-Grade 2. --Shelle Rosenfeld
