From Publishers Weekly
Kids who idolize their dads just may recognize him in this slight but breezy portrait of one terrific father. Butterworth's humorously hyperbolic illustrations depict a friendly looking father living up to the narrator's description of all the ways in which his dad is "awesome": five kids and a dog are piled on his back to prove "He's as strong as a gorilla"; he becomes a one-man band--with drum on back, guitar in hand and accordion strung between his knees--to show that "he can play any instrument"; and he throws six items into the air (including a bag of tomatoes) to demonstrate that "he can juggle with anything." Though not truly "awesome" (Kristy Parker's My Dad the Magnificent , illustrated by Lillian Hoban, is a more substantial treatment of the theme), this book may inspire youngsters to consider the little--and not so little--things that make their own dads special. Ages 2-up.

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2-- This modern-day father can and will do anything. He can cook, roller skate, and is not afraid of the dark. He has a sense of humor, and he can ``. . . sing like a rock star''--if one can judge by the look on the face of the rubber duck he bathes with. He's perfectly ordinary-looking, but his personality shines through. The short, repetitive phrases coupled with the bright watercolors show this fabulous guy as a one-man band, and he's sure to delight readers who see a little of their own parent springing from the pages. --Joyce Richards, Prairie Grove Elem . School, AR
